AMT 1927 Ford High speed pursuit

[BIGTRUCK]

I have had this kit for many many years its kit #T178 I believe its from the 70's and the decals still look very usable . What made me want to build this was the "Fronty" Frontenac DOHC engine and all those cool extra police car parts. Im not sure of the body color but it will be Blue,Red or Yellow with the black fenders. The side curtains were also a plus. Police loud speaker,nightsticks,sawed off shotgun,flashlight and 2 constable hats for the inside and bell, siren with crank handle, 2 spotlights for the outside. I removed the engine chrome from the speed parts for the engine. It was reissued not that long ago and by todays kit prices they are pretty reasonable especially with those 4 banger speed parts.

Very cool! Bit different but not way out there.

This is going to be cool. I might need to get one just for that engine.

First total mock up and pretty much what it will look like. I attached the windshield frame to the roof and will also do the same with the side curtains. It makes for an easy lift-off to view the police accessories inside with positive points to put back on. The kit suggests to remove the hood sides if the fronty parts are being used, I tried just a cut out for the pipes but hood sides delete works and looks better to me.
