Rdkingjay Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 This is the Revell snap-tite kit, that I built about 15 years ago as a CHP cruiser. I restored it to its present condition last year. For a snap kit, it is incredibly well detailed. I had a spare parts kit on hand and was able to cobble together a dual exhaust system for it. Other then the lightbar, decals and scratchbuilt antennas, it is box stock. We had these cars when they were introduced back in 1991 and while you were always happy to get issued a new cruiser, they were not popular. Except for the chrome hubcaps ( we had the plastic dull silver ones) this model closely resembles one we have in our antique fleet, right down to the cruiser number. Thanks for looking.

Rob Z Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Very nice job on all the little details... This thing looks like it's ready to roll out and chase down the Lambo running down I 95... I remember the one my father used to drive up here, they were similarly trimmed out with the exception of the wheels, with all the chuckholes up here the hubcaps were gone usually within a week of delivery...

Agent G Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Very good! I like it when someone pays attention to detail. Say for instance, the green radiator hoses? Then again, how many of us would know that lil tidbit eh? Unless ya drove it. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Neil Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think that's the guy who gave a ticket on the Pike. Those colors always give me an anxiety attack, even after 15 years in NH. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promo55 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 These, and the Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis, are the best cars ever built by anybody, anywhere, at anytime! You really did this kit justice. I like your attention to detail, this thing looks like a real car! Thank you for showing how to do it. Excellent modeling!
