Hallo everybody,

today i want to show you a newer car out of my collection. The 1987 Buick Grand National with supercharged V-6 engine.

What i like on this car? Because, it has a dark shining when you stay in front of it and always sold in black - i think so.

The only thing i was not painting like the original is the interieur. i hate all the grey stuff in it and so i made my own upholstery.

Also this car has a story. His owner is a bounty hunter - take a look!

Those colors inside look much better than the mostly grey interiors they came in for sure !!!

Interesting color combo in the interior. Makes it kinda look like an '84 GN. I like it! I had a 1:1 '87 GN back in 2003 and they are a blast to drive!

With that shotgun, change the plates, and you would have Dom's from Fast and Furious. But I like the original bounty hunter idea better. Great job! :D

Buick GN, and GNX are really nice cars. Regal is nice too. Your model looks just like real thing, paintjob is very good and I like the interior details. Is that Shotgun there? Nice job again, keep these great models coming.

Nice work on your GN. I really like the added details in the interior.

I had one of these models back in the '80s, when I was still new to the hobby. Mine didn't look anywhere near as good as yours does.

Thank you very much for comments! Thanks - i also like the black interior better then the grey one, they had built.

@Niko: yes, its a shotgun. I took it out of the ""Force 440""-Kit and a friend of me made a resincopy.

Very nice GNX but wasnt the GNX turbocharged?

Yes - my fault. It is not supercharged <_< - turbocharged is correct ;) . Thought, its the same? And (for stupides like me), i made a decal in the inner hood with the lettering...

...turbocharged

Nothing wired under the hood - simply built out of box.

Here is one more picture from the bounty hunters "job", he must do:

[...]Who is the bounty hunter's target?[...]

Its the guy with the blue shirt on the picture. He broked a borrowed board and didn't want to pay. But this was not the first time, he made it....so, he is on flight under a false name... ;)
