W-Machine Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) This was saved from a Dumpster by a co-worker. I built it to replicate what such a car might have looked like as used by the New Jersey State Police. Yeah, I know the Troopers largely used Fords back then. Basically box-stock, I was fortunate to have most of a Jo-Han Fury kit in my styrene junkyard to complete it. I've included both "before" and "after" photos. Edited April 12, 2013 by W-Machine
jsc Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I love this car! Great job! And who in their right mind would just trash something like this? Thanks for saving it!
slusher Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 A really nice save of a classic model. Great work..
tomsheehy Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Great save, and nice result. You're not far off, NJSP starting using Plymouths in 1969.
TFchronos Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Nice save, anyone who throws a good model away needs a good firm talking to. It looks great as a cop car, I'm glad you saved it.
Porscheman Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Nice save and beautiful build. I remember when this kit first came out, finally a 4dr police car kit. I was so excited.
gtx6970 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Great, another place I have to start keeping an eye out for model kits Nice save btw
John Goschke Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Nice! Looks like I need to dumpster dive more often.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I need to give that guy my address, he or she can trash lot's more models on my house any time.
