Agent G Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This is a model of the last car I was assigned to. I actually received a replacement for this six weeks before retirement but I rarely drove the new one. Rustoleum Gloss White with airbrushed Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black for the trim. I used Tamiya spray bomb Navy Blue for the interior. Decals are a mix of Chimneyvill and home made to better depict what we had back then. Police equipment is from my spares box adapted to again, look like what we used. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intmd8r Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This is a model of the last car I was assigned to. G I'm glad you clarified this! Not reading the text at first glance, you can see where I'm going here...? Never had the "pleasure" of riding in one (front or back), but this build is very realistic.

bobthehobbyguy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Nice work. Some outside shots at the right angle and it would pass for the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thank you all. It's a cute little kit, well detailed and easily personalized. Some of the engraving is sparse and certain emblems disappear under paint, but overall I like this kit. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Great looking model G. Did the computer come with it?? Best one I have seen, there not always realistic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 The computer came with the kit. It really looks the part. The radio and siren box are left over from a Revell Mustang LX. I took the kit shotgun and scratch built a rack for it. In real life the shotgun was in the trunk and I had a carbine riding up front with me. I just didn't feel like scratching or searching for the correct model patrol rifle. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Nice job, Wayne. I've thought of adding the center of the front seat, or perhaps a console and stock rims or aluminum wheels and making a civilian car of it. And probably build one or two police cars, too, on principle. A few of them did get used around here. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Wayne, did any of those cars get the mini V8 like the 2005 Impala SSs? Very nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thank you gentlemen! You too Tom. Bob the best I ever saw was the 3.8L Pontiac derived V6 starting in the '06 model year. Naturally that was the car I received just before I left. These were NOT fast cars by any stretch of the imagination. Not too good handling either.................

jefropas Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I was assigned 2 FWD, 3800 powered Impalas in my earlier police career, had a distinct love/hate with em for sure...nice build! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Jeff, I had two rather lengthy pursuits while driving Impalas. Lengthy in respect to city policing that is (20 minutes tops). In all honesty, both times, the car I was driving hung in there like a champ. Then, there was this carjacked 5.0 Mustang on Interstate 70 westbound. Well, about the best I can say for these is that they make great detective cars........................................ G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
