Nice patrol cars guys! Here's my only cop car:

NC State Highway Patrol Impala flat top using the Revell SnapTite kit.  Decals were for a Crown Vic.  The antennas, hidden lights and the radar were scratch built. The laptop computer came in the kit.  

Most of these in NC SHP service had aluminum wheels, but I finally found a reference pic of a flat top with steelies and hub caps, so that allowed me to use the kit wheels..

That has to be one of the nicest, if not the nicest, version of the Impala that I've ever seen.

Thanks!  That was a fun kit to build. 

The NC Troopers only used those cars for a few years but I always thought they looked sleek in that scheme.

Well, the white one is from the movie "Nothing But Trouble" , the identity of the Charger escapes me as of now.

Correct......the Charger is from 'Mystery Men' a number of cool cars in the movie.  Vette limo, 59 Rambler etc...

Wow, that's one of my favorite movies. I'm surprised that I don't remember the Charger police car. But the Herkimer Battle Jitney- now that would be something to build!

There are a number of Charger police cars in the film.....but they get little screen time. Easiest time to spot them is at the end during the news coverage of the Mystery Men, and gal.  I want to build the Vette limo too.
