Joe Handley Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 While looking for something else entirely (ain't it always the way?) I just found a forgotten AMT "Predecorated" '71 Duster 340. I'd always thought it was painted green, but now it looks like it might have actually been molded in something approximating Sassy Grass Green. Will have to take a better look at that thing soon...might have to put that near the top of the To-Build Pile.... Wasn't the Predecorated '57 300C also painted green, but a very dark green instead?

Joe Handley Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I forgot, Revell did versions of their snap PT Cruiser and Expedition in a neonish green!

ChrisPflug Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 The AMT prepainted/ unassembled 71 Charger also came painted that "Green-Go" color I've stripped a couple of the prepainted kits when they were selling cheap- nothing would touch that paint but 91% alcohol All were normal beige RC2 plastic underneath

Mine's molded in Petty Blue. Do you have a kit number on the green one? ETA: Never mind, found a picture of the box on google. Now I just need to find one. Edited September 14, 2014 by Snake45

Draggon Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I have a JoHan Olds F85 wagon in a real ugly green, the 63 Fury in that dark green already mentioned, and just saw a JoHan Rambler American in the same dark green.
Snake45 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 The rear bumper of that blue '68 Javelin promo/friction toy I just "restored" was molded in a medium/dark green, so it's logical to assume that whole Javelins were molded in green as well. I have a red one, but wouldn't I love to find a green one!
Art Anderson Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 JoHan was well-known for using leftover styrene pellets of whatever colors for molding parts trees that were to be plated. After all, who really worried about what color the plastic was if the tree of parts was to be plated? Art
