Steve is correct. AMT issued many Jo-Han kits from 66 through the mid 70's

 

I think AMT issued the JoHan '74 Hornet F/C, too:

 

 

[Edsel-Dan]

Looks like that is a Yes!!

 

I had one in a Jo-Han box.

No idea where it might be now

[Roadkill2525]

How about a model of the machine that makes the models? The molds in the machine are of itself.

I found two of these at a yard sale, both unbuilt. The kid told me his dad got them while on a business trip to Japan

 

Do I sense a new Community Build? 

[Edsel-Dan]

You offering to supply a link/purchase location??

I have seen these on evilbay from RecoveryChannel, Tokyo Hobby, & TomChina only!!!

 

I would love to get one or both of those kits!!

 

How about a Drum Set, Banjo, Saxaphone, etc??

Bad news, The Banjo& Sax were at least $125.oo++ EACH!!

and over $20.oo more shipping

[Modelbuilder Mark]

I would REALLY like to get my hands on one of these kits someday. I would like to make a stock version of a 1:1 I used to own.

How about this drum set ?  Been in my closet for years . . . might even put it together one day !

Austin, I'm not letting those babies go, I'm a '73/'74 Javelin hoarder, I love that car! If I could ever get the reference pics I want , I'll tackle correcting the horrible chassis and building a few of 'em myself!

I can respect that,the day I get a javelin Real or model they will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. If you do start building one,please start a build thread on it.

[Custom Mike]

I've been talking to a few 1:1 Javelin owners on the various AMC Forums, and they're trying to find me the pics I want of the chassis and suspension so i can finally build one that's close to accurate, as soon as I get some pics, I'll definitely start a WIP on it!

[Edsel-Dan]

Yes that Is the Drum set I have seen.

Would like to get one myself.

[jbwelda]

that drum set is available on ebay right at this moment for $22.50 with free shipping.  edit: from more than one source, must have been reissued recently?

 

do a search on pearl drum set model

 

youre welcome

Never saw that kit. Wasn't that the car that had the doors slide into the fenders ?

The AMT-boxed Hornet funny car is a '73. (The rear of the '73 and '74 differ.) It's the only Jo-Han AMC Hornet that AMT sold. Jo-Han produced annual kits (funny car version only) from 1970 through 1973, and did offer it with the '74 body towards the end of the Seventies. The '74 body funny car is probably the toughest one to find; it wasn't around long.
Other AMT-boxed Jo-Han kits include Olds Toronados ('67, '68, and '70), Olds 4-4-2 ('69 in one box, '70 in two different boxes), two-seater AMX ('68 in one box, '69 and '70 in two boxes for each year). (Jo-Han did not offer the AMX kits in its own packaging alongside AMT.)
AMT also sold the '71 Mark Donohue Trans-Am Javelin/AMX, the stock '74 Javelin/AMX, '72 Torino NASCAR version, '70 Challenger funny car, and '72 Maverick pro stock. The AMT/Jo-Han deal started in late '66 with the '67 Toronado, and I believe the Maverick was the last kit offered under the arrangement. Nobody has ever written about this that I'm aware of; it would be interesting to know who set the deal up, who chose the items that AMT would have access to, and why the deal ended.

It's my understanding the AMT boxed 1965 Dodge Coronet kit was actually made by Johan but never sold under the Johan name ?

Anyone know for sure ?

You're partially correct.  It was made by MPC

I think I had heard someone some wheres talking about the workers protesting at the AMT factory,thus making them have to get the model from another company. Maybe Art Anderson can shed some light on the subject,he knows A LOT about the modeling industry.

[Custom Mike]

Let's see how obscure these two are, I've never seen AMT's '32 Fords in boxes like these...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Edsel-Dan]

I believe they were Promo offers from/Through Ford dealers

or Ford Corporate

[Custom Mike]

Daniel, that would explain the piece of paper that was inside the bottom of each box then, I was thinking they were some kind of promo too!
