This is what happens when you combine a dragster with an exceptionally ornate hearse. The beautiful wood lines and ornamentation of a carriage merge with the sheer power of a fuel-injected engine to create the fastest hearse out there. This kit was one of the more famous Tom Daniel releases back in the 70’s and now its back. Building this re-released kit was a must for me.

For the Modeler: This is a Monogram 1/24th scale Boot Hill Express skill level 2 model kit. The kit consist of 93 parts molded in white, clear and chrome; 4 vinyl tires; 2 front narrow drag tires; and 2 rear drag slicks with white wall inserts. Also comes with a bonus skeleton figure and BHE tombstone and features a single piece frame with spring suspension and full engine with injection system. I had a blast building the Boot Hill Express and I was very happy with the end result.  The total build took about 50 hours, a good deal of that time was taken up by the paint effects. There are no decals with this kit. Finished dimensions are; Length: 6-1/4″, Width: 3-1/4″, Height: 3-1/2″. Have fun and “keep the glue off the windshield!” – Tony Gibson
