Here is my Hobby Heaven 1/25th scale Custom 500. I was inspired by the film "Magnum Force" and wanted to build a 1970's police inspector's car like Harry Callahan's. I decided to paint the car a Ford Medium Brown Metallic, a correct color for that model and year. The paint is actual auto paint - a two part finish with a color base and a clear coat. I did not like the dog dish hubcaps that came with the car, so ordered a set of aluminum hub caps from Park's Parts. I detailed the interior and dash, using authentic gauge images supplied by Best Model, along with the correct license plates for that period. I added a strobe light, courtesy of the Starsky and Hutch kit, and ordered a pico LED from Police Models. I also wired the engine to make it more realistic. The engine supplied with the kit is not the correct one, but used it anyway. The air cleaner came from another kit.
