smellyfatdude Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 From an unbuilt Jo-han kit I acquired this past winter. The paint is Testor's One Coat Graphite Dust, over a base of Krylon satin white, and cleared with Tamiya TS-13. The front of the engine is from the AMT ' 75 Gremlin re-issue. I ordered the decals from Keith Marks, just so I could add the "Machine" logos.
Jantrix Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Wow. That is really well done, and great to see one NOT in red/white/blue.
TooOld Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Very nice SFD ! The Rebel has always been a favorite of mine . The Machine decal is a nice touch !
smellyfatdude Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks for the comments, everyone. I've been lucky enough to build three of the vintage Jo-han AMC kits, and this particular one is probably the least accurate. But, it was still a fun build. I just need a Jo-han ' 70 Javelin kit now, and then I'll have all the ones I've ever drooled over. But then, I probably wouldn't pass up the chance to snag one of the Ambassador ragtops. Here's a pic of my AMC "unholy trinity".

JTalmage Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I was hoping for red/white/blue lol What a cool name for a car... the Rebel, The Machine I'd love to have a '69 AMX to make a replica of my dad's old car.
