Man, I have got to get 1 of those kits !!! My favorite Javelin of all time !!! Maybe I'll find one on Ebay 1 day ... thanks for the video ! 😇👍🏼

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ronstewart9792]

This is very cool. The restore on the funny car will be awesome to see. Loved the Gold one at the first of the video. Ron

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thank you!

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Yes sir, holy grail indeed! I love them old Johan AMX’s and Javelins! Very cool buddy! Oh wow, definitely a holy grail, it being unbuilt! Man!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Yes! I really love these cars too! Can you tell? It just sucks that they are getting harder to find and more expensive.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

@@TheMuscleCarModeler - yeah man, I hear ya! I know it’s a plain shame that those old kits are getting kinda hard to find and when & if you do , then the people want an arm and a leg for them ( and mainly the Johan kits) ! I got on eBay after watching your video here, just to check out the Johan models and lord have mercy the prices some of those fellas want for them, man! I saw one of the 66’ Marlin kits and golly they wanted like 500 and something bucks for it, actually people were still bidding on it and it was already over 500 bucks! That’s just too rich for my blood! I saw one old Johan kit, I don’t remember what car it was but it was way up over 1500 bucks. Jesus!!

Great video. I love old vintage kits. I have many in my collection. Keep up the great work.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thanks, will do!

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

Really nice they give you a stock interior and chassis along with the funny car chassis. Nice kit. I've always thought it was a neat looking car. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

It's a nice kit and this was the version that you could build stock!

Thank you!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

That's a very cool kit!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Yes, I agree! This is one of the few that I would spend good money on.

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Once again thanks for posting another excellent video and review from you Raoul! The JoHan '70 Javelin kit is really sharp and how I wish this kit could be reissued too!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Me too! Thanks!

[@seanh2390]

Great video! I keep hoping Round 2 or Revell will re-issue a 1/25 scale Javelin... maybe some day :-)

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

I would hope so but Fiat doesn't seem to friendly on licensing but I don't know for sure.

We Can ALWAYS Dream Brother.

Yes we can and often do!

[@gr5535]

Let me guess , move the decimal point to the end - 2.00 to 200. , people want fortunes for this old stuff! Thank you for preserving , building these great old model kits. Really dig the Bronze 70 ⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍

Pretty much! Then times it by 2!

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Awesome kit

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

I agree!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Wow, just discovered you awesome that you literally just cover muscle cars!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Welcome aboard!

[@TerribleTim68]

Blows me away the prices some of these AMC kits are selling for now. Makes me regret building all mine 20-25 years ago. 🤣

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Yes, they are worth a lot and really hard to find.

[@CycolacFan]

Thanks for that it’s interesting to see, you certainly got value for your $2 back then with four different ways to build. Pity virtually none of Jo-Han’s tooling survived, they always got their bodies very accurate.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thanks! They look great built even though the detail is not that great when it comes to the interior and chassis.

[@animalyze7120]

Not so much, Jo-Han had some perks AMT, MPC or Revell didn't and vice versa. Back then these were primarily for kids to build though by 68-69 Dads and Uncles were in on it so these 3 in 1 kits and the customizing kits became more popular. These days Jo-Han are over priced kits due to the ol Rose tinted glasses syndrome and really aren't worth the cost if over $60-$70 but still nice to have as a look back. Watch out for sealed kits of any vintage brand, those tires chewing window glass and body panels was a real thing which is why sealed kits aren't really desired as there's no indication of the damage until opened. I have 6 kits from Jo-Han that I have to fill and sand panels and 3 that had ruined glass, these days at those prices I prefer opened good condition kits over sealed crap.

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Great video and I want to see it built!!!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Someday! I want to build a 68 Javelin first. I have not done the 68 yet and have two of them, one is a nice unbuilt kit and the other is a promo rebuilder!

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

@@TheMuscleCarModeler I'll love to see you build them!

[@jamessawyer8889]

Yeah, that’s what I’d like to see would be the reissued JoHan kits because they would be so cool to build as well as enjoy creating some pretty interesting variations kit bashing them with other parts or even something way different from what you usually saw

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

I wish the molds still existed but they are long gone. Would love to see a new tool but I don’t think Fiat or whomever owns the AMC rights is willing to work with the modeling company’s with licensing. Fiat didn’t seam to be a player and now they just merged with someone else to creat another company so who knows what will happen.

[@MrModelworx]

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed that. That's a very nice example and that Logghe funny car chassis was supposedly very accurate at the time. Don't you just love vintage plastic! I have a 71 I think it is, probably a very common one it's the one with the yellow car on the box.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Glad you enjoyed it! The yellow box, if I'm thinking of the correct one, is supposed to be a 72 but sometimes has a 73 body in the box.

[@MrModelworx]

@@TheMuscleCarModeler That's interesting do you know how to tell between a 72 and 73?.

[@CycolacFan]

@@MrModelworx I forget which way round is which but the differences include the dated licence plate being blurred out on the box art of later issues, and on the body the taillight / taillight panel was changed and the T-top style roof lines being present or not in the roof.

[@tonytyreman2143]

Thar Gold/Copper Javelin is beautiful! one of my personal faves of your builds so far...and 1:1 for my taste the Donahue better looking than a BOSS Mustang or T/A Challenger... good news for me it will cost me less to buy my dream car..... but no bias... AMC should not be overlooked.... we do not have many Muscle cars come up for sale in the UK...but when an AMX comes up for sale it is always less than a good Mustang notch back small block.... I know what i would rather own!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Very cool! You would defiantly have a rare car if you owned a Javelin in the UK!

[@waynewootton5385]

who build jo-han model kits now and are there parts out there for them

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

A lot of people still do. Parts can be hard to find. Ebay is one source and a few Facebook groups dedicated to JoHan are good places to find them.

[@Merylstreep1949]

I actually have an unbuilt of the Drag On Lady AMX, so maybe now I'll build it!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Cool. I have featured a few of the JoHan AMX's!

[@alvinprettyman1802]

I had this kit in 1970 ... 2 dollars was a lot of money then I think min. wage was $1.50 ... I was a nice kit.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Very cool!

[@williambruce9207]

I looked into buying a Mark Donahue 1 to 1 car in early 1980s. But driver side behind door was hit, so I passed!

Those are cool cars. I would have passed on that as well.

Don’t worry about it. I have been getting that my whole life. Growing up in AZ and many assume I’m Spanish and I’m not. Others look right at me and say “your white?” Like it is a big surprise to me. All I know is I don’t really fit a stereo type and that is fine with me.
