Plymouth Fury Convertible '62 (Jo-Han, 1/25 scale)

[Tommy124]

Hi there,

I did this as a quick build inbetween other projects.

No engine to show and not much love for the interior which is basically flawed.

Painted in Tamiya Bright Red and 1K clear.

Wow! Hard to believe you built this from a kit with +60 year old molds! Beautiful paint, perfect BMF trim, toned-down chrome and black washed grill and wheel covers, everything just about perfect. Did you replace the kit tires and adjust the ride height on this Fury? It just looks so much more realistic (better) than a typical 60’s 1/25 model car kit.

Sure wish these molds were still around and I could pick up a ‘62 coupe for cheap, I would love to build an early super stock drag car. I always thought the styling on these ‘62 Mopars was really ugly when I was a kid but now I kinda love their weird lines (probably nostalgia?).

nice Mopars, well done...

Made me smile, thanks ?

Very nice Tommy of a rarely seen Plymouth.    Great work?

[Hi-Po]

Nicely done on both of the builds.

[Supernurd]

Totally cool! ?

Wow…. What a stunning build.  That’s just gorgeous.?

Great looking paint and body trim. There was a time when a bright red convertible, regardless of manufacturer, was considered the most desirable car to own. This build captures that look.

I always enjoy seeing these old Johan kits getting built. Your work on these is really nice!

[Tom99]

Great build!!

I remember building one of these as a kid. Unsurprisingly, mine didn’t turn out any where near as stunning as yours. Nice job. ??

Your 62 Plymouth Fury Convertible turned out really nice Tommy. Really loving the red.  Just a Super looking build.

Nice paint, trim and badge work.  8^)

The pair look great sitting side by side.

Very nice in red. One would never know it's an old Jo-Han.

KOOL! Takes me back to the Space Age, early 60's! JFK, Seattle Worlds Fair John Glenn  optimistic future. A great time in our history and a couple very nice builds.

I should build mine!

Looks great

Great to see these old Jo-Han kits built and detailed to a higher standard than the manufacturer's originally intended. Really well done Tommy on both builds. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

Very clean build.

Beautiful build, that red really sets it off very well. Really impressed with the detail of the badge work on the trunk lid.

Beautiful build. Great paint, foil work and detailing.

[slusher]

Absolutely Stunning!

They both look really nice. Did the Dart have the dimples in the front fenders by the headlights.

Many thanks guys, I appreciate your kind feedback!

Thanks John! No, I used the kit's tyres and rims. In fact, I believe the kit sits a bit too low especially in the rear which is why I made some slight modifications there. It's still lower that most 1:1  images I found on the web, but then again, low DOES look good, right. ?

Nice built and coool Mopar?
