MadKaw6 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I restored this car from a built one. It was a black and white at one time and then redone as a civilian car. It's pretty much box stock. The only additions are some detailing in the engine compartment ( spark plug wires, radiator hose, and heater hoses). On the front seat there's a box of donuts, cup of coffee, and a Detroit Free Press. I painted it with Model Master enamel and Alclad. I have some pictures of it being restored if there's any interest in seeing them.

unclescott58 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Wow! Very, very nice. A good save. Scott
Maxicoop Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 super job on saving this one...... very very clean !!!!!
Helix Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Very nice Frank, like the old police cruisers
ToyLvr Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Clean Build! Thanks for sharing. Can't go wrong with a good ol' JoHan kit like that one.
peekay Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 That looks fantastic! Always loved this kit but have yet to build mine. I'd be very pleased if it turned out this nice. I'm particularly impressed with the clean separation lines between the white and blue. Is this just very careful masking, or do you have a special method?
spkgibson Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Very nicely done, What blue did you use on this?......I wish I still had the 6 mint kits of this kit I owned about 10 years ago, EXCELLENT SAVE AND BUILD. Edited September 6, 2014 by spkgibson
English Jules Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 nice. i stripped mine back from the LAPD B/W once i found out the kit decals were fiction. Im trying a few nail varnish greens for a unmarked unit.

I use the same fine line tape used for real cars.

I mixed up my own blue for this car. It's Model Master Grabber Blue with a few drops of white in it.Thanks everybody for the compliments.
thatz4u Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 box of donuts on the front seat, you really know your subject well
rrenz Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Man That is a sweet build. Just finished a 57 ford patrol car myself. Edited September 21, 2014 by rrenz
