Another Jo-Han's '60 DeSoto

[The German]

Hello, friends of glue steam,

now a DeSoto from my workbench. Not nearly as good as the model of our colleague here that was shown a few days ago. My model was just junk! Lots of parts were missing. The body looked just gruesome! So I stripped and repainted. I had to improvise with the dashboard and took one from another kit that serves as a spare parts store. Parts of the engine were also missing, the radiator was missing completely. In short, nothing was complete!
Well, let's take a look at the DeSoto. I hope he knows to please at least a little? I would be really interested in your opinion.

And, as always: Greetings from Germany!

I like it, very clean build. Would never have guessed it was a wreck. Colour is very nice.

Used to see a lot of these at the Charlotte Auto Fair.  The have a Desoto club that attends every year.

Nice.  Looks like Revell 59 impala wheels.

Great looking De Soto and they paint is real glossy. Elegant looking color combination.

You did a great job bringing this one back to life. I would not have guessed it was in  such poor condition. Now this old Desoto will live on!

Very nice!  I have one in bad shape also. All the trim was damaged or sanded flat.  I’ll have to see what I can do with it!

Looks wonderful.

Well Done!

Looking at the end result, one would never guess that there was so much work behind it.

Nice save!  Looks good to me. 

I also had another one that is in really bad shape that I cut in in half and used for a garage diorama about 20 years ago...wish I still had it, i would like to redo that dio.
