AMT 1970 Ford Interceptor New York Police

[NYNS Franky]

Short story, wanted to do a New York Police car from the 70's as I don't remember this color scheme.  Picked up the kit and started doing some research and found a picture of a 1970 Ford police car from the 122pct.  That was the local pct. in Staten Island, New York where I grew up.  So the markings and numbers are from the actual car.  I had to modify the light bar, and center beacon aswell.  I also removed the molding from the kit as the ones from NY did not have it.  Tamiya rattle can white for the roof and trunk, Scalefinishes NYP Green, and Black raven enamel used for the rest.  Cheers!

Nobody would have outrun the cops if they had Boss 429's :-). Very nice build.

Thank you all for the great comments!  The roof siren was included in the kit, as was the centre light.  I just modified the height to resemble the car I was referring too.

The '70 Ford interceptors are so cool! Great job.

Beautiful job!!  I definitely wouldn't want one of these coming up behind me with the lights on.

that would be excellent. I bought the LTD conversion kit from Modelhaus before they shut down. I have never worked with resin before, so I'm nervous to ruin it and not be able to replacements.
