  1. I did this last april in 48 hours and entered it in the tv/movie section at a model show shortly after. Other than using a light bar from the revell snap tite Impala Police Car (painted black over the chrome and amber over the clear white lenses), the kit is box stock. Painted in Flat Black with Gloss Grey for the interior. I had to de-chrome the wheel covers to paint them the flat black and the engine parts to paint them aluminum to match the aluminum paint used for the block and heads etc. I just gotta say this is a HORRIBLE kit as far as final assembly, I will NEVER build a front drive car based model again :x . Here are the pictures, they turned out nice. I am also doing a model of the cop car used in the TV show that looks like this: I have it in paint (flat black over grey primer two tone) and I have the V shaped light bar and a set of tv accurate decals custom printed.
  2. Hey, I like that idea, I will have to use that in the future.
  3. Hi I am Dave, I am a first time poster here and I thought I would 'break the ice' with a little tip for you guys. Making scale K&N filters What you will need: Testors Insgnia Red Testors Black Chrome Trim (or any satin/semi gloss black) Thin tipped sharpie pen One of your fingers (trust me) Step 1: paint the filter part with the red, let dry. Step 2: using the sharpie pen draw a line in each sunken area around the filter. Step 3: using your finger rub up and down against the direction of the filter grooves while turning the part in your hand. Step 4: paint the NON filter part with the semi/satin black. Step 5: glue the part to the engine. I hope this trick works for you guys, I have used it before many times and i always get good results. if you are not sure try doing it on a filter from your parts box before doing it on a project build.
