Hunter's 1977 Dodge Monaco

[mrmike]

This is my Hunter's 1977 Dodge Monaco.  It is painted with Tamiya TS-43 Racing Green with a Tamiya AS-15 Tan interior, a 2 way radio and an red emergency light.  I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to view and to comment on my WIP.

Thank you Bill and Rusty!  This was a fun build. and I finished it during a Club sponsered Build-A-Thon on Sunday.  I foiled and polished and fitted a few remaining pieces during that time.

Looks great. Nice work. Always did like that show.

That's a great looking monaco. I wonder why MPC never offer the fury it would have required  a minimum change to build either a dodge or plymouth.

Great looking build. Clean looking finishes and paint.

Thank you James, David, Mario and Ron!  

The MPC Dodge Monaco had its roots in the TJ Hooker Police Car from the early 80s.  There is more than just swapping the grille and rear bumper.  The Plymouth Fury had a different interior compared to the Dodge Monaco.  The Yodel Monaco/Fury kits shared everything, but the grille and bumpers to save money.  It was primarily a motorized model.

Nice work.  One of my favorite cop shows from the 1980's.

Cool!

Thank you, Ron!  Nice Dodge Monaco!  Looks to be a Hot Wheel size die cast.  Most likely a 1/64 scale.

Thank you, Chris!

Yea that’s what I think the scale is as well.

Great build of the Yodel kit as L-56!  It'd look right at home next to the L-57 Turbo Z or Shelby Z ?
