bbowser Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Finished this one last night, the last Johan kit in my stash. Got it off ebay several years ago and it was missing the engine, built it as a curbside slump buster. Tamiya TS-60 Pearl Green. Foiling was a patience tester but I think it came out alright. Comments welcome, thanks for looking. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbuildr Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Excellent. Looks like a real suburban family type car. Nice color, detailing is very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nah Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Always good to see these old Jo-Hans getting the treatment they deserve. Nicely made Bruce. Wonder what became of all the molds of these kits? Bit sad to think they were just lost to history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Rod Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Great looking Dart! The green looks just right and your foil work and details finish it off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Very nicely done. I like how you chose the black wall tire option. It gives it a real ‘mainstream’ look. I have this one in my collection and I’m really looking forward to building it. It’s great to see it built up so well. In the second to last picture it looks like the headlights are on!

Dave42 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Very nicely done. That's how it should look IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Many thanks for all the comments! I would have used the thin whitewalls but they weren't concentric on the tires so I turned the blackwalls out. I think it looks better.

bobss396 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Those cars were so ugly that they are actually beautiful now. Chrysler came out some gruesome stuff back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT68 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Very clean build on a rarely seen model. Chrome appears to have a very nice shine. I've had issues with duller chrome on some (but not all) of the older Johan kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
