Is THIS the WORST Matchbox model ever made? AMC Javelin AMX custom

Описание: Customising a Lesney Matchbox Superfast No. 9E AMX Javelin, in the Matchbox range from 1972 until 1977.

After my last video on what I thought to be "the worst Matchbox replica model ever," that being the BMW 3.0 CSL, I received a lot of comments. Some claimed I was blind, some claimed I was insane, and some a combination of the two. But among those comments were suggestions for other worst Matchbox replicas ever, and this 9E AMX Javelin came up time and again.

It was introduced in 1972, the year after the second generation Javelin it is meant to be based on launched. It is the AMX edition which offered it larger V8 engines, bringing real braun to the Pony car battle of the late 60s and early 70s. It had a gaudy hood scoop, over exaggerated wheel arches, and a green, amber and yellow colour scheme enough to put you off your dinner. The model remained in the Superfast series until 1977.

For the record, I think that this is a better casting than the BMW, perhaps being a bit too over the top in some aspects. What I wanted to do though is lean into some of these areas and tone them down elsewhere. You'll have to let me know your thoughts on the Javelin in the comments.
