Hey guys, here’s another one of mine,
It’s the AMT 1970 Ford Police Interceptor kit.
I added the side windows, antennas and drilled out the molded in chrome headlights and replaced them with clear lenses from another kit.
I left it curbside since AMT didn’t do much in the engine compartment
also since its a cop car I didnt do any polishing of the paint. just a coat of wax.

Hmmm........ I don't often build Civilian models James. Cars especially, often look too much like models.....if you know what I mean? This however, looks like the real thing. Marvellous finish, that just gives it that edge of realism. Well done!
