THarrison351 Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 It's finished. Is it perfect? NO! Will it fill a space on my shelf? Definitely! I don't think I have an AMC on the shelf. I'm just happy to complete something started over thirty years ago. By the way, If you've never built old JoHan plastic and have some, be very wary of the brittleness of the plastic. I cracked the hood, a front brace between the fenders, the original axles, and the tabs to mount the dash to the interior. Anyways here it is: Also the WIP The Camaro is next on my hit list and these two JoHans have been in-work as long as the Javelin. Bought at the same time and started. Maybe this year? 4
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Looks great. Makes me want to go back and repaint mine.
'70 Grande Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Wow! That is a spectacular build! Paint looks exceptional! The additional engine compartment detailing looks great! You should be really proud of this build!
Dave Van Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 NICE NEAT CLEAN build........I am bias a little......... 1
Spottedlaurel Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 That looks fantastic, well done for persevering with it after 30 years!
espo Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Beautiful looking paint finish and the striping and trim look great. Sure wish they could reissue these.
1959scudetto Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Great looking AMC muscle car in this green paint!

The color turned out much better than even I expected. I really hate that the JoHan dies were lost, damaged or stolen and we'll never see any of these models produced again. 1

Maindrian Pace Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 Nicest job I've ever seen on that kit, by far. A stunner!
