Does anyone offer a resin version of the JoHan '72 Torino fastback?


Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, JoHan only did theirs as a snap kit with a closed hood & no engine, but it seems to be the only game in town if you want to build this car. I know one of our better casters offers the notchback version of this car, but I'm only interested in the fastback.

I think because the original styrene fastbacks can still be had at reasonable prices, it doesn't behoove a caster to repop them. I picked up an almost perfect one at a model car show last year for $19 and plan on cutting the hood free & kitbashing to create a full detail build.

After cutting open the hood one would have the problem of building a correct engine bay and chassis. There is nothing available which is anything near enough that can be used. Ford went back to separate frame for the 72 intermediates, so nothing from the years before would work.
