Dr Plastic Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) Hi everyone. i would like to present for your perusal my first post on this fine forum. It is the ancient Johan 1963 Chrysler Turbine. Finished in MCW Chrysler Turbine bronze metallic (#6655) She features a lot of detailing in the engine bay and interior. All except some period correct license plates and touch up in some areas she is ready for the world! Click here for more pics. Enjoy! Edited September 17, 2007 by Dr Plastic 2
MrObsessive Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 That looks great! It's nice to see yet another build of this car! I did one a few months back....(elsewhere in this forum) and I don't want to do another for awhile! Your engine bay detail looks good..............more detailed than I decided to do with mine! .................and BTW welcome! Hope to see you post some more builds!
High octane Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 That is a beautiful build on that Turbine Car Scott. If I ever get to build mine, I hope it comes out just like yours. I was lucky enough to see the Turbine Car at the Chrysler Museum back in '02.
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Stunning!!!! Congratulations on a beautiful build ..
Dominik Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Thank you Doug for grabbing this old entry! How could i missed that? It Looks perfect! Love it. Enginedetails awesome and the antenna is really nice
HotRodaSaurus Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 A great model and brilliant build. I always think this model does not get the credit it deserves. Just about everything is operational on it except the steering wheel and side windows. The more recent mouldings from the 1980-90s though suffered horrendous flash on the chrome tree. Did they improve this for the latest issue?
stevehansen Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Superb!!! Excellent build in the correct colors (imho). I remember as a kid having the kit but was overwhelmed by the complexity and never finished it. Edited June 17, 2015 by stevehansen
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Fantastic job Scott!! This sure was a beautiful kit for it's day. As a matter of fact, I would say it rivals most modern kits. A real testament to what Johan could have done if they could have hung in there longer. Some day I'll need to find another one of these. I had one years ago & still have a few of it's parts, but where the rest of it went, I have no clue! Nice work Scott! Steve
sjordan2 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) That's as good as it gets, in every detail. Not much left to say. Edited June 17, 2015 by sjordan2
Harry P. Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I wonder what ever happened to Scott? (remember, this post is from 2007!)...
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I wonder what ever happened to Scott? (remember, this post is from 2007!)... Wow! I didn't notice that! Talk about raising the dead! Steve
smellyfatdude Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I wonder what ever happened to Scott? (remember, this post is from 2007!)... Well, a search shows he has an active Facebook account. Lots of pictures on there of model planes, as well as armour. Looks like he may have simply switched gears. But I agree with everybody else, that's probably the nicest turbine build I've ever seen.

And someone glued the engine block together. If you're interested, PM me!
Smitty Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Beautiful job on this. It was done so long ago, but this kit was on my 'bucket list' and I just recently started it. In my opinion yours and Mr. Obsessive's build may share the title of 'gold standard' for this kit. Thanks for the extensive photo documentation.
rickcaps55 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 WOW ! you did a awesome job on that build. I have this kit in my stash it has been setting there for 30 years untouched I just never got around to it I love it now seeing this I will have to get started on it I have the full detail kit from JoHan like yours with the opening doors and trunk in the flat box.
