stavanzer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) And, it does have the Light Bar. No radio that I can tell, but then the original kit never had a radio either, that I know of. Just an antenna. But, Congrats to Round2 for bringing those parts back. Edited January 26 by stavanzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, no radio parts. just the optional antenna. I had hinted that there were some parts copied from the '69 Coronet annual kit and the Police car parts are some of those. The red and clear beacon lenses were intentionally included with the convertible kit as a clue to the future version contents. Internal beacon lamp parts were added as an improvement from the original and the mounting bar is now plated. Assembled it's a very good match to a Federal Visibar. -Steve 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapSat 6 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I just rewatched the build video. It looks like tread plate detail was added to the inside bottom of the trailer. That’s a nice little detail that makes the new one match the original trailer from the annual kits (and the new trailer looked a little bare in there…). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, that texture detail was missed originally. Any future runs of the convertible kit will also include the revised trailer floor part. -Steve 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a full-on K-code Highway Patrol option 4 door version of this kit now that the Hardtop is out. If my count is correct, I think a grand total of 4 new parts would be needed to be tooled up for -new body -new rear glass -new interior side panels -new front seat I can think of about 4 or 5 candidates of 60's cars in their tooling bank that would benefit from an expansion to include a 4 door police cruiser version Since the Ambulance version of the Ghostbusters Ecto 1 seems to be selling well, this shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
