Cop Out Plymouth Duster Funny Car by Tom Daniel 1:24 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4093 Review
Review and Photos by Tony & Martha Gibson 
Funny Cars were all the rage on America’s drag strips and combined with the customizing talents of Tom Daniel you get – INSTANT AWESOME! This is one of my all time favorite Tom Daniel kits. It has stood the test of time, having been released many times after its’ original release in the early 70s. Nothing looks like it’s changed with this new release, except for the box art, which is just like it was at the original release. Although this kit has been re-issued over and over, the dies are still leaving clean, sharp molds with minimal dies marks and flashing. The chrome is really bright and smooth, a little heavy on some of the smaller parts, but all in all pretty good. The decals/colors are very sharp. The big 426 Hemi is still unchanged, a bit out of scale without a lot of detail, but still an awesome old school design. This kit is pretty basic in every way and I’m glad nothing changed. It’s simple and fun build.
