Blue Thunder Scale Model Kit Full Review

Great subject, not so great kit.

Great review.

Nice review Steve. It's a good little kit that has a lot of detail. It builds out nicely if you take the time to work on the gaps
here and there. It's mostly around the canopy area.

I remember seeing that kit on the store shelves. Nice find!

I was a Scheider fan since The 7-Ups. If I knew there was a kit I don't remember. But I was not enough of a fan to try to find and build one. So I do like this overview. Also like the slideshow at the end-- kind'a sad pix but a cool enough prop and very cool RC version.

Are you going to build this kit? Or are you keeping it in the box?

Years ago I watched Dirk Pitt and Chris Cortel build the Kiteck/Hiteck version. How do the two compare?

Need a sprue cutter

Did you ever get around to building the model Steve?

Congratulations for your modelkit, Blue Thunder !! I was fan of Tv show in '80 !!!

This helicopter is just the most beautiful ever… I used to dream I was Murphy and pilot the amazing machine…

Built this kit when I was a teenager, and have been wanting to build another. The OG Monogram kit was fairly well done-decent details, good fitment and engineering. I’ve heard horror stories about the Kitech lit, which seems to be crappy plastic. Just literally this week snatched a Monogram kit off EBay for reasonable, and can’t wait to get started.

In 1984, Monogram also had a line of 1/24 scale MOPAR muscle cars. One of them was a 1969 Dodge Super Bee 440 molded in this same dark metallic blue plastic! The model included a “ketchup packet” of Automotive Liquid Turtle Wax. Modelers who did not want to paint the car could then wax the body and the metallic finish would POP!! I actually built this model in 1984 at age 16 and won in my class! I remember seeing this Blue Thunder model in the toy store in the Mall but never bought it for some reason! Thanks for the overdue for me review! 👍😎👍
