Hello guys,
I have a question. Where can I get police car interior accessories in 1/24 scale. I need radios computers and the back board. I also need the roof lights. My entry is going to be a Niagara Regional Police Services Dodge Charger. I will be using a non police car kit so I need the interior equipment. Any idea who sells the above stuff? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Hey Darrell...
sounds like that might be a lot of after-market stuff to find there. I thought I'd throw this out as an option.
Lindberg makes a series of 1/24 Dodge Charger R/T Police Cars, I have one and it looks pretty good in the box.. If its the wrong type of Charger for your build you could use the parts out of it for your car, has the police spec console with computer, safety barrier, also the police style wheels, and the kits come with 8 different light bars to choose from.
hope no one minds this but here is a link to a review of the kit.
Review for Lindberg Dodge Charger police cars Some of the online retailers sell this kit for about $25...
anyways good luck and later..

New guy here, thanks to Jimb for the tip on this forum & group build! Lots of nice work here so far; I'd like to join in with Revell's '48 Ford. I'll get some pictures up this weekend.

hi all. Very late to this as I usually hang out at Armorama. Not enough time to do an entry but I do have a questions. Aside from Police Car Models are there any other sources for decals. I only ask because I'd be interested doing a Charlotte-Mecklenburg PD Crown Vic at some point. Thanks and I'll check in to see the progress on your builds.

For decals, you could try
Afrermath Graphics over on eBay (User Name is mesatraffic). He's out of Arizona, and I believe his direct email is
[email protected]. You could also try Bill Smith from
Bill Bozo Decals. Brian Keraly at The
Police Decal Shop (also on eBay) has some nice stuff, too.
I hope that helps. Good luck with your project.
Jim

Should be a nice project, Sal. Check with Police Car Models on those older NYPD decals. They might have them.

Some more progress:
I'm more of a curbside guy, so I won't do much detailing under the hood.
