I just found this thread. Here's some stuff I have in the works.

This is an Impala with the Caprice trunk lid grafted in. Then I added the trim strip between the taillights.

This one has the "trough" filled with superglue and microballoons. This'll be a '96.

CMW Crown Vic, stripped, reprimed, and with modified Modelhaus Chevy cop car wheels. This'll be a Montana Highway Patrol cruiser.

LAPD used 2004 Impalas on an experimental basis, buying only a few cars. So I'm doing this one with Revell's snapper.

They're fun. I've got lots more, too.

I wish I had a better place to work

I have a LOT that would fit here.

I have built all 3 of AMT's ALF 1000's, Pumper, Ladder & Snorkle.

a few parts lots as well.

I have one of the Trumpeter ALF, a built Aurora ALF 900, as well as

at least 2 complete unbuilt, and a few PArts lots too

2 of the Original Lindberg ALF open cab, plus 3-4 parts lots

4 of the Lindberg Ohio State 97 Ford Crown-Vic, Generic, CHP & Ilinios issues

N.C & Generic 08 Charger, 4-5 parts lots of the 70 Ford Interceptor.

other Built's include a TJ Hooker Monaco, Chicago, NYPD Green, San Francisco

& Detriot Tactical/DARE 68 Fury, but 2-3 unbuilt, plus additional parts lots

Jo-Han 66 Cadillac Ambulance, plus one I added a High-Top to (and opened the

doors!--Just have to find it)

Yodel LAPD 78 Monaco/Fury. I need to replece the Monaco grill with a Fury grill.

I already have the CAN lights from a Jo-Han

MPC Super Snap 40 Ford Fire Chief (2), doing one a a Stock Chief, may leave #2 as hot-rod kit version

49 Mercury Police, Willys Paddy Wagon & 75 Balzer Emergency/Rescue unit. 1 Built, 1 re-issue to build

I added the stretcher from AMT's Chevy Van Fire-Rescue issue in place of the back seat.

AMT's 70 IMpala with Light-rack from Monogram Cop-Out funny car

Built one of those too. Have MANY sets of the light-racks/rotators/sirens/flashers for that kit too

And 4-5 of the revell Snap Police Caprice, and 2-3 of the Fire Chief/Taxi issue too

SEVERAL Monogram/Revell 1/32 scale Mack CF pumper kits. Converting one into an

Aerialscope, another into a Heavy Rescue. Bashed another with the Monogram Mack R cab.

also in 1/32 I have a Diecast Dodge van ambulance, the Revell Chevy Van in SWAT

& Ambulance versions

The Revell Nova SWAT, MPC Chevy Stepside pickup Trail Patrol. Made a

Rescue Squad like from Emergency out of one.

MPC Dodge Monaco Police made into a Fire Chief, MPC Cop-Rod 32 Ford Sedan Delivery

converting back to Stock Paddy Wagon

My favorite is a Scratch-built ALF Pioneer Snorkle.

I think I will use the interior parts from an Aurora 900 for this. The Jump seats are from

a Monogram Mack CF as are the Outer section of the front fenders.

I also have Several Leetown/Alloy Forms, Iver's Engineering & NJ International

Diecast 1/87 (HO) scale Fire apparatus kits

Here is the Fire department folder in my Photobucket;

Got a thing for 1;1 & 1;25 ol' cop cars. Got several half finished black & whites;

Revell Caprice (the taxi so need decals ect)

57 Chevy pursuit car (running a blown 409)

57 Chevy 'Cop Out' funny car. Built from a Plum Crazy

Lindberg Crown Vic. Due to be a weathered old ex patrol car (update on Terry Jesses Dirty Old Dodge article)

Not started yet, is a 79 ? Trans Am, from the start of Cannonball Run.

I had a 1;1 86 Caprice, painted as an old black n white kinda Bluesbrothers style B)

Janne,

I wanna join in on the fun with a Revell 99 Camaro Z28 im working on im turning into a Louisiana State Police cruiser.

.

Hey I recognize that Camaro! That sure was an unexpected find at the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab back in '08. It is still in-service last I heard, being assigned to the HQ it is no doubt someone's "toy" and will no doubt "accidentally" be missed by Fleet Management for a few more years to come.
