Greasefinger Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 This Jo-Han kit was originally released in 1965, the same year The Beatles released the album Help!. My kit was a rebox from the 70´s (according to Scalemates). Johan has also released two other versions of the 1931 Cadillac, Town Brougham and Sport Phaeton, all with V-16 engine. I do have the two in the stash waiting. The model was built out of the box in the summer of 2023. Despite it´s old age the kit was very accurate but did have quite a bit of flash in the sprues. Building the model was quite straightforward although the instructions were a little different from what we are used to today. Biggest problem was deciding on the color, I finally chose this Tamiya Haze Grey (TS-32). In the finished model there is an operating rumble seat, a small locker for a golf bag on the side, opening hood and posable wheels. 16
lordairgtar Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 The car looks so rich in the gray color.
Kromolly Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 That turned out absolutely beautiful. That will make a proud display piece. I have this one in my stash. So many kits, so little time.

espo Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Great looking paint finishes and trim details.
Zippi Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 That's a looker Kapo. Really nicely done. The Tamiya Haze Grey fits the ticket on this build.
