Wanted 70 Johan rear spoiler for a Javelin

FYI all tears are tthe same.......so may be easier to find later one.

I don't think the '70 kit had the spoiler; you'll have to look for one of the '71-'74 kit pieces.

The Jo-Han '70 Mark Donohue Trans-Am Javelin release has the namesake rear spoiler, the '70 Jim Paschal NASCAR GT/annual kit release does not.  The '71-'73 Jo-Han Javelin AMX releases have something similar but not an exact match to the aforementioned Mark Donohue kit part.  Made out below would be a rehabbed BBO promo with the Donohue kit rear spoiler, flat across the base versus the '71 and later design corners which dip down a bit.

So Wing or ducktail????

[swede70]

Just a brief program note here!  If one does or attempts the RKE wing (also employed on the 100 tri-color '70 Trans-Am special editions predating the Donohue ducktail spoiler and special engine block homologation special), the wing element has a slight vee almost in the style of a boomerang following the lines and design of the trunk lid and taillight cluster that comes to a slight point heading back.  Material to do the wing in scale can be a challenge to find, although I found scale model helicopter blades featuring a uniform section and constant chord trimmed just-so work well.  The mounts on the ends need to be scratch built to the best of one's ability but are not an impossible task.  Thanks...

THX!   Very informative!  (noted)

Still having to dig up old photos to illustrate such, some time ago I attempted to combine some Jo-Han rear spoiler elements to come up with a slightly better '70 Mark Donohue ducktail rear spoiler.  On the Mark Donohue Trans-Am release, it seems they mastered the early season race spoiler that doesn't have the expected beveled keyhole to access the trunk lock cylinder, while as seen further up this thread, the base of the spoiler along the back is flat without any additional profile dipping down at the ends. The rear spoiler project rests in a box, I do on occasion resin cast my own stuff, while at some point I'll return to this mini-project given I'm clearly not the only one interested.  Thanks...

I’m looking for the ducktail style for a 70. Like the one that was in the Donohue kit.

Ducktail as in the Donohue 70 kit.

Check with Jimmy Flintstone.....I mastered a 73 Javelin ASA body for him and it includes a stock ducktail. Maybe sell it alone???
