Dominik Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Good morning (on my clock), today i will show you a overhauled Jo-Han Cadillac. I love these biiiiiig americans Thats the model i bought on a flew market, before i lay my hands on it: After 7 days ( believe it or not - I am astonished at myself!) ...thats the result: Let me tell some points, that i've done during the built: - painted the tires new and also painted the whitewalls - changed the lousy headlights - build a (think so) correct mirror, but only on on the drivers side - added the mirror inside - added this little side windows in the back - modified the stance and axle in the wheelhouses - some rectifications on the interieur-inlay and the frame, that it fit better Paint is Tamiya gold (TS 21) spraycan with clearcoat. the hood is glued very well before i worked on it, no chance to open it. doesn't matter - the engine is not complete... it is not perfect in all points (wrong steeringwheel for example), i know. Enjoy the pics I am proud of it! This kit has so much details that came out, after i removed the dozen layes of paint. At last: i know, the roof is warped a little bit. Thanks for your attention, feel free and say what you think
Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 WOW!!! What a difference 7 days can make!! Love the color, as I have a soft spot for gold cars. Very well done.
RAMBENNA Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 very nice, you did an awesome job. I love the old Johan kits.
sbk Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Very nice! Those side view photos could pass for 1:1 photos.
realgone58 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Very nice restoration. Especially like the addition of the proper quarter windows. Looks great!
