cobraman Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Beautiful model. Year ago when kits like this were new I wouldn't give them a second look but now ? I realize what cool cars they all were. If I could only talk to my young self. 2

1959scudetto Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Wow, that is looking good - I have a X-EL promo (former JoHan) that I bought in the 80's and detailed and repainted it, but this doesn't come any close to your model! 1
espo Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Great looking Dodge. Good paint schema and the colors look good together. Nice cleanly done chrome trim and there is plenty of trim. 1
happy grumpy Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Beautiful and rare, I'm a little jealous. You're right Ray. if we could go back in time for a day, I would buy several models of the whole jo-han line. To think I use to buy some of these for 3.50$ at the local store. They had interesting subjects and their bodies were really good . Ah well . 1
bisc63 Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Fantastic! Tasty color scheme, and yards of chrome foil neatly applied! Well done. 1
Bills72sj Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Very nice result. The artistic design looks very "busy" but compared to all the "jelly bean" cars sold today but, it looks way over the top cool. 1
papajohn97 Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Really like that understated two-tone green and your foil work is beautiful! I agree with the other other comments how some car designs start to look better (or at least more “interesting”) with the passage of time. Love the over-the-top tail lights and fins on this Dodge. 1
misterNNL Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 The cars of the "Jet Age" were indeed great designs. We could always look forward to completely new designs every year in the showrooms. I remember piling in cars and driving to the dealers to gather the color brochures to be drooled over later. Good times. 1

Good times during those high school years. 1

doorsovdoon Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Nice colour choice, looks so good with all that trim. A bmf nightmare for me! Nice work. 1
