Javelin 1968 Pro-Touring scratchbuilt
HI from Canada!
This is a Pro-Touring 1968 Javelin, heavily scratchbuilt from a genuine Johan Promo. Only the body was used, ultimately. All the rest scratchbuilt: Floor pan, chassis, tubs, IFS, rear 4bar, frt & rr air shocks, brakes & calipers, seats, interior door panels & boom box, shifter, console, hand brake, glasses, etc, etc. Maisto wheels, narrowed in the front. Tamya's Tan + Testor's Wetlook clear. Fully polished. Wired and hosed.
Hours of fun with styrene!

I'm not a fan of the Pro-Touring look but that is some really nice work Claude.

Hi!
Thanks for the comments!
Was the whole AMC line also built in Australia? I didn't know that!
Your profile picture shows a Buick Skylark, 69-70 vintage. My dad had one! Brings back memories....

Super nice scratchbuilding. That's a great looking chassis.

Stellar build! The style and colour and detailing is beautifully unified and sleek. And total respect for the scratch building - sometimes it's the only way to achieve what you imagine.
