1960 De Soto Adventurer (Jo-Han)

[ATHU]

My build of the old Jo-Han De Soto kit. Color is Arctic Blue Metallic.

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.

Wow, it's knock out Chrysler build week, that is very, very nice!

[Peter Lombardo]

Beautiful, what a shame those old molds no longer exist.   Beautiful.

[Jim N]

Great work!  The paint and detailing are superb.

[StevenGuthmiller]

Very nice work on a great old kit!

It's such a shame that we never got any more Desoto kits.

That is stunning. Love the color.

[Tom Geiger]

Very pretty!   I once saw one like that at a show with the rotating bucket seats!

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

[charger74]

Very nice

[Phildaupho]

Super nice build and excellent photos. 

[Mike999]

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.

[Tommy124]

Very nicely done! I take it you applied the BMF before the clearcoat?

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.
