Jo-Han 1972 Javelin Pro Touring Style

[dave branson]

Started this about `0 years ago. I dropped the body down on the chassis, using a set of Fujimi 1/24 20 in rim & tire along with the disc brakes. Front grill was in bad shape when I got it, front end is painted with Alclad Chrome. And yes I do have 2 more in my collection , and all 3 have different tailights.

These cars had the "Pro-Touring" look from the factory before there was even such a term. They all look great, but I like the Maroon one.

Seeing the grille without any chrome reminds me how beautifully detailed Johan parts are. Absolute art!

Got back to the Javelin. Bare metaled the rear window, and gold the gold decal on the front that decal is Fred Cady

All those bodies are 1973-74 bodies. The 1971-72 body had the faux T-Top bar in the center of the roof. 

Sadly Jo-Han mixed and matched the Javelin parts using one year body with another year tail light panel. But if you buy enough kits you can 'un mix' and make a correct model.

I like your builds....but I am bias.....

The Maroon body with the gold stripes looks great.

Thanks for posting the 71/72 bodies. I have a couple '74 kits, one with the tail light on the right.

Got the rest of the Bare Metal foil done, and clear coated

Great looking paint finish.

Love the gold stripe with that paint color!!.

Wow! The gloss on the maroon/gold makes it look like candy.

How about this tail light set up...

Cleaned up real nice and I'am not a big wheel guy but those wheels and tires look awsome..The chrome on the bumper is unreal, just don't touch it too much..Nice work..

Wow, that maroon looks fantastic!

Nice work on the paint, lovely colour, and that gold stripe really shows nicely.
