Claude Thibodeau Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Hi! Many among us are happy just to OWN a rare JOHAN kit. I can relate, but I much prefer to build them! If you happen to feel the same, share a few of your prized "unobtainium" kits! CT
Keef Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 One I built years ago when they were plentiful and cheap. Used the body and bumpers with AMT chassis and innards. Only JoHan I’ve had in a long time. Would love to find another body and bumpers to build another one as this one got destroyed by an Ex. 4

mr moto Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 There's some great builds posted here! The '62 Chrysler with the silver/blue fade blows me away! Here's what I've got: A pair of '62 Studebaker Larks 1935 Mercedes 500K 1963 Plymouth Fury ...and another '63 Plymouth kit bashed into a Melrose Missile. There are others in boxes and ziploc bags waiting to be built...someday. 7
