1985 Dodge Diplomat Salon Four Door Sedan RCMP(Royal Canadian Mounted Police) Cruiser in 1/24 scale. Note no third brake light on this one which showed up on the '86 model. Motormax does call it a '86 Diplomat on the floor and the box. A lot of Police cruisers of Ontario during that time would be called Plymouth Caravelle Salon so would have been nice if Motormax called them by their Canadian name. If you want your replica to be a true '86 then you just fabricate a third brake light.

This is a Motormax die cast that I took apart and detailed. Completely painted engine bay using a combination of spray paint & brush paint, Decals made by Rays Kits based in the Netherlands, a few scratch built brackets, clamps, wiring, and hoses added, all chrome trim that Motormax originally painted silver were covered in Bare Metal Foil, completely painted interior with full carpeting and seat belts, roof liner, sun visor & dome lamp, windshield tint and hood vents highlighted with dilluted black paint, hood insulation, floor painted and detailed, and finally made brake lines with thin metal wires.
