This is the Revell snap-tite kit, that I built about 15 years ago as a CHP cruiser. I restored it to its present condition last year. For a snap kit, it is incredibly well detailed. I had a spare parts kit on hand and was able to cobble together a dual exhaust system for it. Other then the lightbar, decals and scratchbuilt antennas, it is box stock. We had these cars when they were introduced back in 1991 and while you were always happy to get issued a new cruiser, they were not popular. Except for the chrome hubcaps ( we had the plastic dull silver ones) this model closely resembles one we have in our antique fleet, right down to the cruiser number. Thanks for looking.

This started out as a plain white 1/25th Motor Max Diplomat with a blue/red jetsonic light bar. I stripped it to bare metal and primed with etching then sandable primer. The french and electric blue are authentic colors. The paint and the custom made decals are under three coats of Dupont clear. The whole car was then sanded and went through a three stage polishing. The CHP style push bar and siren unit are scratchbuilt, as are all the antenna's. The tires that came with it were way to skinny, so I swapped them out with ones from the parts box. The police gear is from a Roscoe patrol car kit. We never used these back in the 80's. Primarily Ford LTD's and Chevy Caprices. But I have always liked them, so here is my interpretation. Thanks for looking.

This is Johan Styline kit. In order to closely replicate one of our cars, I had to remove a ton of molded in chrome/stainless do-dads from all over the car. I also turned it into a sedan by adding window frames/"B" pillars. I built this to closley replicate cruiser #201, which is pictured. There are some inaccuracies, such as the rear glass, wheel covers and I had to wing it as far the interior goes. Era correct plates are custom made decals. Thanks for looking.
