    anyone remember the Johan series of cars which had the inside of the transparent body metalflaked

    so they could be painted with somewhat predictable results? (early - mid '60s)
     
  2. This is where I got all my Johan models.

    love the Renault Dauphine - beep! beep!
     
  4. An update of a little progress of my Monogram models. These are now a bit more presentable since pulling them out of the boxes they were in.
    Most of the work was repairing and reattaching the windshield frames. Others needed the headlights to be reattached. Some also had broken axles. They still need more work to finish them if I can find the various missing parts.

    I remember a similar offering from Revell but not Jo-Han. It would be interesting to see one.
     
  7. Those were made by Revell and were called “Metalflake Show Car Series”.
    Here’s an example of one of them.
