Sport Suburban Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Here is a 70 AMX that I built from a Missing Link Resin kit. This is based of the Johan kit and went together really well. It is getting harder to dig up the base kit for this now and Johan kits are getting costly. I really didn't have much of a challenge building this one but the clear coat didn't stick well to the Testors Big Bad Blue paint. The first time I tried masking the black shadow mask paint the clear lifted off. I use two part automotive clear and had to strip the whole thing. Not as easy to do with resin and risky. Second time went well and the build continued. I really enjoyed this one. Glad I bought two of them from Missing Link when I had the chance! Now I have to build one of the 68 I have to finish the set!
Classicgas Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Beautiful! Why no kit maker has picked up on the fact there is a demand for a new tooling of this car is beyond me. You did however run a big risk I think putting automotive clear over Testors paint.
Hmann68 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Nicely done! Love the AMX's! Yours looks great
vintagercr Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 That is very nice. I wish they would bring back the 68 Javelin.
