A little family pictures from my recently Johan built kit

P.S. : I've realised I forgot about painting the letter P on the Plymouth's hood, it'll be done Engine bay :

Hi guys, Back with a new built, this time a 63 Plymouth Fury Convertible from Johan, my 4th Johan kit in a few month. This one is quite special to me as it belonged to a dear lost friend. He has started it years ago and unfortunatly never finished it.... So I started with a painted and foiled body with a lot of orange peel that I worked to have a nice, flawless and shiny red paint, I didn't know where to go with the interior as some of my reference pictures showed some 2 tone interior, but I realised later that it was for the Sport Fury, not for the Fury Johan made. It's box stock with some flocking and and a wired engine. Hope you will like it, I'm sure my friend would have been happy to see it finished

Thank you for all the nice comments, I'm very happy I've finished this resto, it was a "long time" project in my head !! The one you think about all the time but that you never start because you know the job that waits for you !!!!

And the last ones : Black is a real challenge with the dust !!!! Hope you like it

Some more pics

Hi guys, Back with a new built, this time a 1961 Dodge from Johan, it was a resto from a built kit which was in bad shape. I decided to go full detail with it so I put the Lindberg Dodge chassis and engine bay, Big Block is provided by an AMT 58 Plymouth ( which actually is a Chrysler big block with a Polyhead intake manifold. Dual quad is from a Johan kit, some detailing in the engine bay, wire wheels are from Modelhaus, outside miror is from the 57 Chrysler, some flocking in the interior, license plate are from "Best Model Car Parts". It was hard to resto as the plastic of this area is very hard and can be broken very easily, also windows were in very very bad shape so I managed to save them but they are not so perfect. Anyway I'm very happy with the result, it's a kit I wanted to built for a long time and here it is

Thanks for the info

I agree !!! Very nice, engine bay details are gorgeous !!!

Exact !!! I've totally forgotten about these hubcaps !!!! I surely have some in my parts box !!! Which year were there available on these cars ?

Really nice !!! Some more pics ???

Very nice truck !!!!

No real model pictures here !!! Only models !!!

I'm still haven't built some "new kits" of the 90ies so I won't complaint about the lack of new kits from AMt/MPC......;)

Some rare and unseen material here, very nice !!!!

Nice stuff, special mention on that Chevy truck !!!

Top work !!!

Seems that you had a good year !!! The only fact of finishing a Heller kit is a little miracle by itself !!!

Man this car is baaaaaad !!! The stance and the big/small tires really does the job on your model !!!

Seems that you have a good year !!!!

One thing I like looking at your work is that your models are very realistic, seems that you can come inside and turn the key !!!! Favorite goes to the 3 first ones

Super nice woody !!!

You did a nice work !!! Black is beautiful !!!
