ATHU Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 My build of the old Jo-Han De Soto kit. Color is Arctic Blue Metallic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakDoc Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Gorgeous finish on what was a great looking car! Awesome detailing as well! I’m dog-earing that interior photo as well. I have that kit minus the interior. My plan is to either scratch build one or modify one I have from a destroyed ‘60 Dodge Phoenix promo that is a very close fit, albeit, not a very close match style-wise.

StevenGuthmiller Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Very nice work on a great old kit! It's such a shame that we never got any more Desoto kits. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I used the body on a pro street chaos years ago. If I had to do it again, I can't imagine a better combination than what you did. Beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Very sharp, clean build, especially that interior. Here's a green one I found at a flea market recently, along with a '60 Plymouth. The sagging rear ends aren't a custom touch; the lowering blocks have come unglued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Very nicely done! I take it you applied the BMF before the clearcoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This a beautiful looking build of a model not often seen. Great looking paint and trim finish and the interior looks just like OEM. I also like the way you detailed the interior. I built on back when they were first issued by JoHan and needless to say it never looked anything close to this. I left it on my then work bench when called to dinner by my mother. I also left a wood burning tool that I was using plugged in on the bench beside the De Soto. I wish now that I had saved it since building models of cars that have been in an accident has become popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
