Kit: Yodel Motorized 1978 Plymouth Fury Police 1/24 Scale I found this great ’78 Plymouth Fury kit by Yodel. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The actually made a model of the same Sheriff car they used in most of Dukes of Hazzard. How lucky could I be! After I got it home I discovered it was …
Kit: Monogram 1971 Plymouth GTX 1/24 Scale It was love at first sight, I caught a somewhat beat-up Plymouth Satellite driving through town, and I followed after it for a little while just to see what the hell it was. This is the closest thing to it in a model form, with the GTX modifications. I …
Kit: Tamiya 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 1/24 Scale The Toyota Land Cruiser is a legend amongst legends. I learned how to drive ‘stick’ in a very old one. Beautiful lumbering beasts. It’s not uncommon to see these regularly in 2022. Much to my pleasant surprise, this ‘stock’ kit features turnable front wheels and working suspension! …
Kit: Revell Miami Vice Daytona Spyder 1/24 Scale I built this kit sometime in 2007 I believe. I watched the first few seasons of Miami Vice on DVD and I was sort of in love with Crockett’s car. Sure enough one day at the hobby store I picked this up and decided to give it a shot. …
Kit: Monogram Ford Lightning 1/24 Scale I made this late in high school (’95 I’d guess) for my friend. It sat somewhere in his messy room for 11 years until one day he found it again. He brought it to me in a plastic bag, and when poured out on a table it looked like …
Kit: Testors (Jo-Han reissue) 1970 Oldsmobile 442 1/24 Scale I really enjoyed Demolition Man (Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes) and one of the feature chase scenes is with a classic ’70 Olds 442, which they only do real minor damage to thank goodness. I think I did this kit sometime in the early 2000s. I stumbled across the …
Kit: Monogram 1990 Lotus Turbo Esprit 1/24 Scale I used to look a lot older than I was, and in some cases that worked out pretty well. My dad and I visited a combination Subaru/Daihatsu/Lotus dealership. (!?) We were all dressed up for whatever reason so I could pass for about 23-25ish but I was …
Kit: Monogram 1990 Lotus Turbo Esprit 1/24 Scale I completed this model sometime late in high school in the early to mid ’90s. I originally did this model in the John Player Special Green/Yellow. I felt like that didn’t come out as well so I went all out on this version. To this day I consider it to …
Kit: MPC ERTL Dodge Stealth This is one of those second time around kits. I built a very nice red/tan version of this car before but gave it away as a present. At the time there was a great modern Smokey & the Bandit TV knock-off “Bandit” The hero drove a black Dodge Stealth and I …
Kit: Monogram Mark Martin Ford Taurus Kit 1/24 Scale Most of my worst models growing up were Nascar kits. I’ve done about a half dozen of them, all of which are long gone. They practically disentegrated before my eyes. The decals peeled off, the frame broke up, the seats fell out, the glass fell off, …
