Jeff at PoliceCarModels has announced that MotorMax has tooled the 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility in 1:43 scale. Hoping for a year end release. Finally something new in 1:43 scale.

So much false information out there. The false information surfaces annually it seems. Most dont know it, but Dean Jefferies made two of the ambulances used in the movie. As I mentioned above, one was put back to street look, and sold to a private ambulance firm in Prosser, Washington. I have photos...

This is a Greenlight Dodge Ram. Nothing changed on it. I used a camper shell from one of the Greenlight Dodge CHP units. I filled in the side windows with plastic, and repainted it. The side doors are my topper decals, cut in the middle and another section added. It has a laser cut acrylic lightbar.

Its over $20 a can always. I use the same brand of primer and clear. Thankfully, they are not as high as the paint. I just nev...

I like it!!

If the top is pinned in, we can have a pretty wide selection of Suburbans to work with. I would be h...

Jeff at PCM has posted an announcement from Greenlight of upcoming releases for first quarter of next year. A 1983 Chevrolet Suburban K20 Custom Deluxe Ambulance – Plain White (Hobby Exclusive) and a 1984 GMC Suburban 2500 Sierra Classic Ambulance - Lebanon Township, New Jersey First Aid Squad (Hobb...

I made this using a Code 3 Collectibles Suburban. I filed off the front fender lights, then stripped and repainted with automotive paint. I made the front winch bumper, winch, fairlead, push bars and siren speaker. I added spotlights painted flat black. The lightbar is a Johnny Lightning. I like thi...

The parts were for a 1:43 scale project, and came in too small if I recall correctly. They were never retailed. I dont have enough of them to share, just a handful. I am careful where I use them.
