peekay Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Just finished this simple Johan kit. It's really just an unassembled promo in kit form but, being Johan, it represents its subject well. I used Gravity Paints Aston Martin Almond Green, topped with Tamiya TS13 clear, fine sanded and polished as usual. There are a couple of minor glitches in the paint but, thanks to my inability to take an in-focus photo, they don't show. The vinyl roof was done with Zero semi-gloss black, which went on very fuzzy, burying my foiled scripts for good. The answer was scripts and badges from Global Toy in China - very nice decals, though the badges are actually for later cars. The interior green is an airbrushed Zero mix, the wood done with Humbrol enamel. The mirrors come from the parts box.

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I keep expecting to see Robert DeNiro step out of this one in a blue leisure suit! (That's a thinly veiled reference to the movie "Casino" by the way) I seem to remember Ray Liotta driving a copper colored Caddy exactly like this one in "Goodfellas". Seems to be a recurring theme here. Great car for a gangster!! Oh, & let's not forget the wedding present to Johnny Roastbeef & his wife Bunny! I guess if you have to get "wacked" a Cadillac is as good a place as any! Both '79s by the way.
