Agent G Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Not to hijack, for inspirational purposes only. Exact replica of a Traffic Safety Sergeant's ride. I scratchbuilt all the police stuff. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airfilter Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 G, Nice job on the police stuff in the interior. What the basic modell? AMT plastic, or diecast? Pali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airfilter Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well...I think is done. Pali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Nice job on the puddle pirate ride. I used the old AMT kit, wheels were from a 454ss truck. I modified the tailgate to represent two cargo doors. If I remember correctly I sanded off all the door trim too. I know I cut off the running boards and drilled new holes in the chassis to lower the ride height as these were 2 WD.

Agent G Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) FBI uses essentially the same as everyone else, with just different channels and encoders, which is stuff you wouldn't see. They opt for small control heads that fit under the dash, or in the glove box or console where they won't be so noticible to a casual observer. FBI vehicles are not always what you think in terms of police car. SUV's, vans, sedans, crossovers, pickups, what ever they think will blend in. Unlike me, who drives a dark metallic grey plain jane '09 Impala, black walls and a prisoner gage. MiB, thas how we roll...................
