Ford Econoline PA State Police

Post by Sirentoys » Mon Aug 31, 2020 3:03 am

Here is a little fantasy model. M2 1/64 Ford Econoline done up as a fictional PA State Police van. Door markings are correct for the era. But with so much real estate on the rear I went with the later Keystone. Light is a Racing Champions part. Hey my fantasy, my rules.

I think I may add some spot lights over the rear doors if I can find some the right size.

Wow that‘s something different. Allthough fictional, refering to the decals were the PA State troopers green and white back then?

Yes they were. The door logos are accurate for about 1963-67. Then from 67-72 they used the green door shield I used on the read door. Cars were white with green hoods and trunks. Early units had the green along the beltline too.
