A clean, tidy build. Looks great! Love all the window stickers. David G.

Cool concept, I love these Retrofuturist builds. David G.

Thank you Chaz. David G.

Excellent rescue! Is the targa stripe paint or a decal? David G.

Beautiful Cuda! A definite summer night strip-cruiser. David G.

There are so many options for a kit like this. I'm interested to see where you take it. David G.

Thank you Bob. I'm not sure that I could do another one like this myself. A project such as this takes a good bit of mental energy, probably more than I currently have access to. David G.

Thank you Gareth. I think I may have something like that lying around. I'll see if I can dig it up. Thank you Carl. I have brushed Alclad a couple of times but just for touching up small areas. David G.

Hello Everybody! Over the weekend I got some paint sprayed so here are a couple of quick shots to show off the color. Please pardon the dust. I like the glow this paint has. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

An amazing rolling diorama! David G.

Spectacular detail work so far! David G.

Hello Everybody! I managed to make some time yesterday to get some work done. I got some paint sprayed on the roof and I think it came out rather well. I'm planning a second coat after a little smoothing over. The color is Tamiya TS-40 Metallic Black. I also got the cut I made in the roll pan corrected and ready for paint. I have some Molotow chrome paint on order and it should be here by 4 October. I want to try shooting it through my AB to "re-chrome" this piece. And as a bonus, here is a test fit shot. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to leave a comment. David G.

Hi Tom, thanks for the comment. I must have gotten lucky or maybe the molding problem was addressed. While the casting alignment was off on the steering wheel in my kit, it was not nearly as bad as the one in the photo above. With no more than the normal amount of filing and clean-up, I was able to get decent looking results. The interior is a bit shallow and lacking in detail on the door panels and for those reasons is in my opinion, not well suited for building this model as a convertible. The dashboard and steering wheel are by most standards, nicely detailed and more than sufficient for use when building the hardtop version. Overall I'm quite pleased with this model and have no serious complaints. I appreciate the effort and expense that Mr. Burkett went to to keep this kit in circulation and prevent it from becoming another of the many that have been lost to history. Based on what you shared regarding the community's complaints in relation to this kit, I find myself wondering what kind of complaints we'd see from the community if all the lost Jo-Han were suddenly re-released tomorrow. ? Unfortunately, we'll likely never know. Regards, David G.

Great work on this so far, love the cage! David G.

That's a gorgeous color! Nice engine detailing too. David G.

Wow, this one seems to be fighting you every step of the way! Aside from the aforementioned issues, the paint looks great. Can't wait to see it all come together. David G.

That came out really nice. There sure is some chunky tread on those tires! ? David G.

Sometimes it's the subtle changes that make all the difference. David G.
