I applied about 4 coats of paint, then started with the Tamiya coarse polish then the finish polish, trial and error in the end and no clear coat used! Thanks Robin

That's right Daniel, John Shoe (1972Coronet) pointed out the Toronado and Cadillac Eldorado share the same platform.

Well said Howard. Sometimes I sit in my model room and just look and admire my stash of kits thinking how each one is going to look when completed Many years of building ahead. Ray

I like both styles Tulio

Good job Everett

Good job Michael

No need to apologise John, appreciate the feedback mate That's thing I like about this hobby, we all learn from each other!

Good question John! I have no idea, thought it was a bit odd myself and looking at the reference pics, so I should have sanded them off Thanks mate.

Very nice Tulio

Hey guys, thank you all so much for the comments, really appreciated ! It's not 100%, but I just love the style of this car Got the JoHan bug now

Thanks for the 'heads up' Robert, yes the front end was a pain in the backside mate and to get that stance right I simply 'flipped' the spindles over Yeah I noticed that with the air cleaner when I was looking at the reference pics I downloaded, I do have a correct one but forgot to put it on !

Love it David, nice details too

Very nice Dan

That's a nice build as well Drew!

Spot on Jim, great looking short tracker

G' Day folks, Saw a documentry on TV about this car, then the opportunity came when a fellow model builder was selling a few kits, he had this one, so I grabbed it because I have never built a JoHan before . For it's age, it was in pretty good shape apart from the tyres, I used some spares I had in my parts box. I've gone for the factory look and the colour choice was tough but in the end I settled for Testors Deep Maroon. The paint chip chart showed a Grenadier Red which looks like Maroon anyway. I used Tamiya finishing compounds instead of a clear coat. The final assembly was very tricky, especially mounting the separate wheel wells inside the body, the stance looked odd so I modified the front end to give it a more realistic look. Anyway here she is Cheers Ray
