JoHan 1973 AMC Javelin AMX

It's finished. Is it perfect? NO! Will it fill a space on my shelf? Definitely! I don't think I have an AMC on the shelf. I'm just happy to complete something started over thirty years ago. By the way, If you've never built old JoHan plastic and have some, be very wary of the brittleness of the plastic. I cracked the hood, a front brace between the fenders, the original axles, and the tabs to mount the dash to the interior. Anyways here it is:

Also the WIP

The Camaro is next on my hit list and these two JoHans have been in-work as long as the Javelin. Bought at the same time and started. Maybe this year?

Thanks to all the great compliments! Tamiya spray paints really are worth the cost. The color turned out much better than even I expected. I really hate that the JoHan dies were lost, damaged or stolen and we'll never see any of these models produced again.
