Rdkingjay Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 This is the Hobby Heaven 1970 Ford police car kit. Aside from the beacon and scratch built antenna it is mostly box stock. I also changed out the grossly skinny original tires for a little more beefy version. Oddly, the kit comes with a Boss 429, which I retained, as opposed to a 428CJ or even a 390. The biggest mod on this car was the bumper/grille section, in which I sanded down the chrome strip across the top, that is supposed to emulate the chrome strip on the leading edge of the hood and fenders. Painted in authentic automotive grade colors and clear. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterion Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Very nice execution and quite realistic looking. I remember these as the units I feared most when first learning to drive in Mass. Paint work is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 You guys keep this up and I'll have to start building cop car models! I really hope Round 2 brings back this one, perhaps even with a correct (non-Boss) engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
