Duesenberg kits?

What year Duesy and what scale? Pocher is 1:8 and I don't think that there was ever a 1:8 scale Duesy kit.

Pocher kits are high in part count but a bit on the crude side and ill fitting. But they do build up into museum quality models when extra effort is put into them.

You might as well have asked "are there any 'Tamiya' of Duesenberg kits available?" as Tamiya kits are generally very well engineered and a pleasure to build.

In smaller scales there are several Duesy kits (from the 30s). IIRC, Monogram and Lindberg made those. I also think that Minicraft makes a

Ok Peter, I'll ask are there any Tamiya Duesenberg kits that were ever made. Seriously I guess I am wondering if anybody ever put the same kind of effort into say Duesenberg kits that the Italians put into Pochers..................jim

Pat,

Of course the majority of those Duesenberg posts are prior to 911. Appears that we will never see a 1/8 scale Duesenberg or any other such type kit I would assume..............jim

THOSE BASTARDS FLEW A AIRLINER INTO THE POCHER FACTORY TOO!? By _God_! That's _IT_...it may be time for nukes. :-)

Both Monogram and Italiari did kits that make up into very nice models. These are street machines. The Etzel Duesenberg is the only racing Duesie I am aware of and that builds into a super result.

Nope, Tamiya never produced any models of Duesenbergs (or any cars from the '20s or '30s for that matter).

The ones I've mentioned are older kits but of pretty good quality. Here are couple I have:

Monogram 85-2174 '34 Model SJ Torpedo Phaeton Monogram PC185-300 (or 7549) Classic Duesenberg Town Car

Those are 1:24 scale models so they just wouldn't have the same details as Pocher kits. But they are fully detailed kits in line with other kits in this common scale.

Both should be plentiful on eBay. Peteski

When I was about 12 or 13 one of my sisters got me a kit labeled "big deuce' for my birthday. Big kit, lots of parts. WAY beyond my ability at the time. It lasted until we moved 3 years later. No idea who made it, but now (35+ years later) it would be a fun build.

I 'think' it's been re-released. Check with your dealer.
