Kit: Monogram Jeep 4×4 1/24 Scale
Playing second to the General Lee is Daisy’s Jeep named Dixie. Daisy had a cool Plymouth GTX in the beginning of the series, and at some point early on it met a terrible fate.
So it was replaced by “Dixie” (no coincidence “Dixie” is the music
played by the General Lee’s Horn) and she had it all through the rest of
the show.
This was my second Monogram Jeep kit. I have one major complaint about the kit, which I solved this time around. When assembled as directed, the frame is twisted a fair bit and it doesn’t let all 4 wheels touch down at the same time. I had to do some warping and a little shaving to get it right.
I pretty much assembled it stock from the kit, with the main added feature was the hand-painted eagle and Dixie on the sides of the hood. It took me a little while and I think it came out pretty well since I didn’t have much to reference from in the late 1990s.
Fairly basic engine but it looks nice and clean and I did some details in the engine bay.
Pretty nice rendition of Daisy’s Jeep all in all. I still have this on display in 2022.
