Smokey Police Car

[Bert]

This re-pop is called the Smokey Police Car. This was a nightmare kit for me. This kit has been punched out of the mold too many times. The parts have a general fit at best. It was a pain in the a$$ to get to this point. I had to paint it three times. Not sure why I kept screwing up the paint. Even now the paint is a five footer. However with all of the bitching, I finished the kit Woo Hoo! I really like the design and the Zoomies behind the front tires are cool. If you want this kit, I would get an older kit, an actual "Smokey the Convoy Chaser". It will probably be more crisp and parts fitment will be better. I took these pics on the bench. I see no need to stage some nice pics with good lighting. Also, after the pics I added the antenna, side mirrors and spot lights. I plan on putting it in the display case anyway, unless one of you guys need it for parts. Box Stock with added plug wires.

Yeah, they really got their moneys worth on the molds for this kit - I remember years ago it was reissued as a " Duster" street machine - Apparently they didn't even bother to check whether it was a Dodge Dart or a Plymouth Duster .Similar , but not the same !

It may have been a struggle to assemble, but it did come out great !

I like it a lot. Very clean build. I want one now.

I was lurking around and saw "new" next to the Smokey'. Thanks for the compliments fellas. I added the antenna after these pics, but it is too big. I am going to cut it at the spring and use a piece of guitar string.
