Mannix 1972 Plymouth 'Cuda Convertible
Posted by Mr Mike on Thursday, January 5, 2017 5:02 PM

This is my Mannix '72 'Cuda convertible built with the AMT/ERTL SnapFast Plymouth 'Cuda.  The body is painted with Duplicolor Forest Green Metallic and the interior is painted with Semi-Gloss Black.  The hood and bumpers are from the Revell '70 Hemi 'Cuda and the wheels and rear view mirrors are from my parts box.

 

And, for your viewing pleasure, the Mannix theme song...

Nice! Is the license plate sourced from the show, too?

Thanks guys!  

I saw the plate numbers on a faux model kit box and decided to use it on this model using Acme License Plate Maker.  I printed the image out of glossy photo paper and attached it to the model with white glue.  I found out later that the numbers were correct.

Neat!

Now, where's the 'car phone'??? (I always thought that was the coolest thing about Joe's car).

Thanks Lee and Greg!  

The carphone was in the console of the 'Cuda.  Since it wasn't under the dash like on the Dart GTS convertible, I didn't bother with it at all.

That was a cool show to watch. Mike Connors is still kicking at 91. Thanks for the memories.
