Thirty four years in the making of this kit.
I started it in 1985.
Put it away in 1986 when i started a new position at work.

Another one of my favorite Chrysler products. This kit was kit bashed with Monogram's 1969 Dodge Super Bee. The Super Bird kit was way off in detail in certain areas. I used the engine bay, chassis, suspension, rear axle, engine, [...]
Just before I retired from NYPD in 1995 I built this NYPD "Bubble" Chevrolet RMP (Radio Mobile Patrol) kit. I custom mixed the blue department colors using Testor's small bottle enamel paints. I airbrushed the colors and used [...]
Started to build this kit about 15 years ago. Never completed due to the horrible stock decals associated with this kit! I painted this Shelby black lacquer and masked off the black and painted the gold stripes with lacquer. Was wet [...]
