PCX87 builds the 1984 Jeep Cherokee XJ as a finished 1:87 model, and this one wears the black and white of the California Highway Patrol. It arrives assembled and painted with a roof lightbar, a front push bar, "HIGHWAY PATROL" door lettering and the CHP seven-point star. Park it on the shoulder of a layout highway and the scene reads instantly.
There is nothing to build. These are display-grade models straight out of the box, so they work just as well on a diorama or a collector shelf as they do beside the mainline. Its companion in the same PCX87 run is the black civilian Cherokee, PCX870728.
