The first thing that struck me about this turntable was the weight - it's heavy which means it should be more resilient to resonances and external vibrations. This is born out in practise as the sound is very solid and well controlled especially at low frequencies. The product oozes quality and is well worth the asking price.

Good detail
A well engineered kit but quite fiddly due to many small parts.

Wacky and fun
Created by Monogram kit designer Tom Daniel back in 1971, this armored van can be described as a novelty item. The parts count is low so it's a fairly quick build. The main feature is a working combination lock on the safe door. The moulding quality is good for an old kit with little flash. Instructions are clear although there are one or two vague placements.
I quote Tom Daniel:
" 'Jinx', was a spoof name and rhymes with the name of a well known armored Truck company that hauls money around and who got robbed of BIG bucks. I thought it only fitting to 'hot rod' a money truck. This was the first version (Fast Buck was the second). I had a lot of fun designing this one with all the rivets ( I am a rivet freak), and all the gun ports, revolving top turret, BIG rear spoiler, wheelie wheels and all the rest. Early on, it was decided to actually make this model kit capable of being used as a "Piggy Bank"...the slot to drop in coins is in the top turret... so I deliberately gave the front end treatment a kind of pig snout look to it. The short wheel base and overall "chunky" look always appealed to me."
