The smallest "1/24" I've encountered from Jada is their ~1/30 Optimus Prime Western Star, while the largest was their ~1/19 Jurassic Park Jeep.

Incredible work, the details are fantastic!

Excellent job on this!

Thanks, guys!

That looks great, nice job on it!

Great looking trio! I built the Hot Wheels version back when they were on shelves, and keep thinking I ought to get another one.

Turned out great, nice detail with the wheel stripes!

This turned out great, nicely done!

Very clean job, nice work!

Finally got this one built! I had picked it up sometime around the movie's release, having seen it in theaters more than once, but never got around to building it until now. My only regret is waiting this long, Revell did an amazing job with it! As always, any comments/criticisms are welcome. The front corner was banged up by separating the hood and then heating the plastic. A few greebles were stuck under the hood to fake an engine, since out of the box there's nothing behind the grille until you get to the firewall. Wheels came from AMT's Escalade EXT, and the plow is a pair of stretchers from MPC's Jeep kit. Everything else body-wise was straight from the kit. Revell only provides three-row seating with middle buckets, but Tallahassee's Caddy had a bench seat and no third row. I combined the kit's buckets with part of the rear bench from a Welly Chevy Avalanche to get the correct seat pattern and crests. With the third row gone, I had room for some zombie hunting gear, a duffel, jumper cables, a gas can, a second spare tire (also from the AMT kit), and some tools. Despite being a curbside, the chassis is worthy of attention. Separate front and rear suspension, separate exhaust, and some truly first-rate detail work. I didn't make any changes, just painted and weathered what was there.

Great job on both, the P-38 has always been a favorite of mine.

Very cool!

That's cool, nice job!

Thanks! I have another couple of these that I want to turn into the Banana Buggies.

Turned out great, nicely done!

Excellent work, and it's great to see one of these kits actually out of the box and built!

Looks great, nicely done!

Good looking pair, nice work!

Excellent job on this!

Beautiful work as always, nice job!

Nicely done!

Looks like it came right off the show circuit, awesome job on it!

They don't get any cleaner, incredible job on this!

Beautiful work on this!

Building the Chassis: I'll be doing this mostly box stock, just to see how good a job Aoshima did. The kit starts with the chassis, which went together flawlessly. Only minimal cleanup was needed, and the parts very nearly snapped together. I finished it with satin black, BMF, and a light weathering to reflect its short time on the road before Doc got to work. The green lenses were done by coloring the BMF with a Sharpie, then covering them with a thin layer of PVA glue. I also added tire lettering, courtesy of Fireball Modelworks. The rear tires used his WL-25 Goodyear Eagle GT lettering in 1/24 scale, and the fronts are 1/25 scale to better fit the smaller tires. Wheel vanes were touched with silver, leaving the cast dark gray in the recesses to add some depth. Next: Interior!
