Hmmm. You might be onto something. I've been trying to figure out what to do with mine. Decals, wheels, and tires from the spares box, lights from the Johan Fury, siren from God knows where, some weathering, and voila!
When the CHP Dodge Monaco came out, I was happy for the new wheels and tires but disappointed that it didn't have the vented hubcaps seen on the box.
Speaking of the Monaco, when it first came out it showed an accurate steering wheel and cool radio. Neither were inside.
I'm not quite sure I agree with you. You Tube shows many European tributes to the Blues Brothers. These are just a couple of examples.
Not to mention European owners of Bluesmobiles.
I'm not a fan of the GL 1:24 diecast, it always seemed a little off to me. And as esoteric a subject matter as the Bluesmobile, it is still MUCH more well known than the Black Beauty, who NO ONE would have predicted would be produced. Count me in for a case of Bluesmobile kits!
I do agree with you on the sequel. Other than the music and the car pile up, blecch!
This forum is a godsend! Even 15 years after the last post, I got the answer I needed.
The purple pond wouldn't even touch the part I just painted with Tamiya spray, now I know others have had the same trouble. I'll try the 91% alcohol.
If it's the same garbage lightbar as in the Galaxie kit, hard pass. The Visibar from the MPC Smokey The Convoy Chaser though, I'd definitely pick up a few.
