I got it from policecarmodels.com, he has a store on ebay and its a little cheaper on his ebay store

Yes they did release the chargers in the Franklin mint series , I bought a few of them,

I decided to post some pics of the Welly Tahoe I have, Its been in the back ground pics of my trans am build and getting a lot of attention. I am not really a diecast person, I have a total of four diecast, this is a really nice diecast piece , it looks to spot on with the 1:1 Tahoe. On the size, that is questionable, it stats on the box 1/24, but I dont think it is that scale, next to one of AMT tahoe kits, its a little smaller. Jeff at PCM has it listed closer to 1/27 scale . All the police equipment you see on it does not come with it, it is stuff that I put on it, the only things that come with the one I got is the push bar and three lightbars, and the lightbars are not even close to being in scale with the tahoe, they were more like 1/32 to 1/43 scale.

NOS? , wait I think I read some where that they did add NOS to it, I think I will go and do some research . DId you find his listing on ebay?, Jeff at police car models his a great guy to do business with

I haven't bought anything model related for the last week so I can have extra money to spend, trust me if you knew me you would understand how hard its been. I love shopping online and ebay , and its driving me nuts

I will be there

You are right, I was thinking about the none SRT8 version , but the other then those things, the tooling is all the same Lindberg police chargers come with the front and rear spoiler's and all the wheels from daytona verison. what it comes down to is, whatever SRT8 kit you get ( Lindberg/Testor) they are for the most part the same kit tooling just in a different box

As for the kit, the testor's and lindberg chargers are the same kit , I have built both and they 100% the same. Lindberg used testors molds .

What do you mean by COT build?

Its a diecast, I am waiting on the decals so I can finish it

Thanks DR. , now if I can stop having bad luck with painting the body I would be happy. I dont know what is going on, but I am having nothing but problems. I have three different types of black paint and all are causing problems.

Making some progress, I am not in a hurry as I still have not got the decals needed for it yet. \

Here are all the 2011 COT builds I have done this year, these are past revell nascar kits that I have redone to make a COT version. I did redo the chassis's as well to make them current COT style. They are not perfect, but close enough to be s shelf model for me. I will say one thing, I have gone thru a boat load of putty doing these

For some reason I always liked the 1:1 car, maybe because it was used in a lot of TV shows I liked that used them. It was a POS of a car though

You know you can decals for it at two different places, I am looking forward to seeing a dodge conversion out of the chevy cot I have alot more COT conversions I have done this year, I can post them if you guys want to see them?

Nick- I have all the movies too

Here is a Dodge Stealth from the TV movies called Bandit from 1994, the made for TV movies were from Hal Needham, who brought us the Smokey and the bandit movies. Well instead of using a black trans am/firebird, a black stealth was used. I used AMT's dodge stealth kit, built OOB, had issue's with the paint so the paint job is ######, but since its just a self model its not a big deal.

I did several mist coats and then a few wet coats, but it etch the entire body

Is dupicolor color match paint safe on plastic?, I am asking this because I pick up a can today and it ruined one body, and a test hood. I used dupicolor primer . I am not sure how to explain what happened but I think crazing or etching maybe is the term. And I have one more question, before I bought the dupicolor, I tried MM black enamel, is MM enamel the same that's is in the testor cans?, I was not happy with it .

Gregg, I happy you are going to let us help out, what is your ebay seller name? Its great having a site free of adds, but money is what makes the world go around. For me it wont be a problem I have a add blocker that works great on forum sites . I am going to donate a $ 1 in the next few days for you.

I am using a HP 3052A(wireless).

I have a Hp printer that I got a wally world to, and it prints really nice as well, but the testor decal paper really isnt that good, I would highly recommend using BMF decal paper line. http://www.bare-metal.com/model-decals.html
