I should have tried your method at EVOC a few days ago Agent G. I'm sure it would have gone over well.

FYI the 1981-1982 Chevy grill was offered on the MPC "Sod Buster" version of this kit. It is also made in resin by Modelhaus for their 1981-1982 Chevy Suburban kit. Maybe if they reopen for business that would be a good source for one. I have two but have plans for those.

I had to cancel going at the last minute. Looks like I missed a heck of a show.

Excellent paint choice. This has to be on of the best build ups of this truck that I've seen in a long time.

It's funny, I have this same exact project in mind. If memory serves me correctly, the 1991 Caprices were actually the first to receive the updated blue stripe graphics. However, there is a picture out there showing a 1991 with the old school graphics and I prefer the simplicity of these.

Very clean. I love those late 80's/early 90's color/decal combos. They were unique, unlike many of today's police cars.

Ahh I see, thank you. I think I'll still pick up 2 of these kits as I never had a chance to buy any of the previous releases. I have a 1981-1982 Chevrolet grill from Modelhaus that should go well with the 1981-1982 bumpers on this kit.

So if I understand the review correctly, this can be built as a 2WD model so long as the builder provides his/her own tires?

It seems like you have quite the laundry list of items. Just based on what I see, the 1988-1991 Ford LTD is a good start for me personally. It's the police car I've wanted the most, followed up by the 1986-1990 Caprice. I know you addressed this, but any new pictures of the car as it looks now would be great. Especially at this stage where you're trying to garner interest.

Also, here is a thread I made last year on an ultimately failed attempt to commission a similar project. You can see how much interest was garnered just on this site: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/102274-1990-1991-ford-ltd-crown-vic1987-1989-chevy-caprice/

I would definitely be interested in purchasing some if good casts are made.

You have any pictures of those?

Set for re-release later this year: I already have 2, but I will probably pick up an extra. I'm mostly excited to see what the decal sheet will look like.

While I was hoping for a different variant of the original 1/24 truck, I'm just happy to see them releasing another kit of a modern pick-up. Hopefully they will stick with this topic with future releases. I can see the 1/35 being a success though. The military model builders will no doubt rush to create their own versions of the PMC trucks used in Iraq during the war.

Tony's Hobbies is in Baldwin Park. That place was mentioned already and the OP said he stopped by.

Thank you.

That tells me that maybe it won't be branded as a Fall Guy kit, but just a stock model. Hopefully Round 2 gets rid of the engraved storage box lines on the bed that come from the Fall Guy truck.

I assume the 059 set would fit well with the AMT Dodge Monaco? Would we need new tires for those or do you know if your rims would fit with the existing tires?

Here it is:

I can vouch for the Crown Victoria. I have about 10 of those kits in my stash. They are excellent curbside kits with a good amount of detail and great police car parts. I haven't heard a single fellow modeler talk badly about them.

It's technically a 1980-1981. For some inexplicable reason, Revell mislabeled this truck kit as a 1979.

I work 5 days a week, from 11 PM - 7:30 AM. If I do build during the work week, it's usually in the morning when I get home from work. However, there are weeks when there is OT aplenty and I end up working between 45-50 hrs. When that happens, I'm usually to unfocused to work on the bench. I hate this schedule but it pays well and I'm given a lot of opportunities to develop professionally.

Looks good. I think I'll pass on this one as I simply like the last generation F-150s more. I went ahead and bought two of the last Raptors. Maybe if I come around to liking this design, I'll pick one up.

Nice. I love the look of the trash in the back.

Very clean, nice work. Modelhaus has aftermarket mirrors for these promos if you want to complete the look.
