Jo-han javelin amx year id

[iangilly]

Curious if someone can pin the exact year of this Johan  kit. I think it's a 71 javelin and sst,  I'm no amc expert, just hoping for a year and opinions on the kit possibly.

If its the same as on the box its a 72 ,the one I built ended up having 73/74 tail lights which disappointed me since I did have a real 72 AMX

With that box, you don't know what you'll get until you open it; Johan threw various parts in that box in the later years.

I have one like Jeff's,with a 73/74 in the box.  I also have one with the '72 tailights as pictured on the box, but a '73/74 body (yes....they're different: look at the roof panels on 1:1 Javelins)

The 71 and 72 AMXs had a roof that looked like they could have had a T top and the 73/74s had a flat roof,I think the regular Javelins in 71/72 also had the flat roof but its been many years since I really paid attention to them.
