Went to buy truck parts, came home with a Blazer die-cast (and parts)
I felt bad taking it, but the lady insisted I take it since they had sold their Blazer. I also got a lot of nice parts, but this was thrown in on the deal. It appears that someone put some work into it, because it was an exact replica of the one they just sold.
It is actually an eerie connection with our Blazer project ... it is the EXACT same red that I had picked out for our Blazer - The Red Sled (Dodge Viper Red)

Cool! I have the same one, actually I have two. This one and another one still in the box that I plan on painting like my actual truck. Please excuse the crapp Iphone pics, I can't find my regular camera.

They are revell I believe, 1:24 scale. They come painted and just need to be assembled. I don't think they make them anymore, but I see them on EBay all the time. I have another one in the box. When I get home I'll take a pic of the box for you.

I can't find the one that I have in the box. But here is a version I found on Ebay. According to the ad it's made by ERTL not Revell.

If it was a model kit it was probably this one...
 The link above is for a diecast bank from ertl and there are a few different versions of it available. I have the wix one and a US Marshal version and have seen pics of a JC Penney Auto version. Probably other promotional ones out there too.
