While browsing eBay I seen this 1/24 scale '78 Plymouth Fury. Looks really good from what I can see, and the box art is amazing! I've never heard of the company "Yodel". Has anyone built this particular kit, or other offerings, from this company? What are their kits like?

Thanks for the links. I remember your Hunter build but couldn't find it. Yeah, the forum's search bar is too random, even when being specific with the options.

Wasn’t aware of this kit…I want one just for that cool box art!

I could presumably achieve a better actual BUILD of one of these if I used the Joker/Gotham City or whatever it was kit plus some aftermarket decals though.  Still…that box ?

I never heard of this company but after reading this post, my mind immediately went here. ?

This guy can really belt it out!

I'm fairly shallow. First thing to cross my mind was

How close is this kit to the AMT Joker Goon car/ cop car? Just asking. I don't have either one.

AMT kit is 1/25th scale.....

I did find one video on YT of someone reviewing the Yodel model. 

It's typical of Japanese toys, good robust well detailed body but toy like chassis, usually made for a battery operated motor.

I've built the CHP Monaco. As a whole It's not bad and looks great built up, but the chassis is awful. Not as bad as the Yodel chassis though, from what I've seen.

But can he yodel? ?

It should be part of their job description, "Must have at least three years experience in yodelling" 

At least then I'd hear him, rather than just leaving the parcel outside in the rain! xD

I think the biggest issue with the Yoder is that the kit is a curb side and the chassis is really bag, was designed to have a motor like a toy. 

However, if all you want is a nice 1/24 cop car that looks the part, they are not too bad from what I have seen.
