#AMT1017 - Graveyard Duo
1:25 Scale
We’ve been filling you with suspense for long enough. They’re finally here!
The long-awaited Drag-u-la &
Barris Koach,…. the scariest hot rod customs ever…have materialized in a really ghoulish way!
Two of George Barris’ most famous TV cars, together again in one deluxe kit - a value added offering that
even includes the original Surf Slab bonus surfboard parts that were never included in the original issue
of the Duo! The low-slung Drag-u-la comes molded in pearl gold while the Barris Koach is molded in black.
Just in time for Halloween, these spook-rods will be haunting modelers nationwide, so grab ‘em… before
they grab you!
Our MONSTER Kits Don’t End There!
Also new this Halloween is the frighteningly-huge Datsun
Monster Truck. This 1:25 scale beast with its giant knobby tires
and tow-truck winch may just be the Monster to drag your other
kits into the swamp...
#MPC852 - Datsun Monster Truck
1:25 Scale
Available this October at your local hobby retailer!
