Revell Monogram Chopper Kits

Revell Monogram is releasing 4 new custom Chopper kits. They are 1/12 scale. With the chopper craze the last couple of years, influenced by several TV shows, it's about time a model company stepped up and took advantage of the motorcycle interest.


One cool thing about these kits is they feature extra parts, such as forks, gas tanks, wheels, air cleaners, and more. So in that sense, you can customize it somewhat into your very own creation. I especially like the skull air cleaner cover. Really cool. And of course, each comes with a different decal sheet.


Longtime modelers will notice the artwork is by Jairus Watson, who is not only a model box illustrator, but a model builder as well. Check out his 1936 Ford Station Wagon.


By the way, if you want some kool skull decals for your chopper, check out KDog's Skull Decal set. Great for a Bad Ass Bike, or maybe your favorite Rat Rod.
