Yahshu Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) A few years back someone was doing a conversion to turn the Aoshima kit into Max's 4 door Interceptor, does anyone remember it & where I might acquire one, thanks.

I dont know if it is what you're looking for though http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/6/t/13623.aspx Thank you but not what I'm looking for, these are the parts to convert the Aoshima kit back to the MM1 Pursuit Special, these I have. The conversion kit I'm looking for requires cutting part of the roof & doors & removing the entire rear section of the Aoshima kit & grafting on the resin 4 door section, it also came with the XB GT grill, both bumpers, 4 door interior & some other odds & sods. There were also conversion kits to do Big Bopper & March Hare's cars using the Aoshima kit as the base. I guess now there's the 1/18 de cast that's just being recently released (tires look weird) it won't be long before a 1/24 scale die cast is done. I'd still prefer to build my own just to satisfy my OCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSat 6 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 https://www.thepartsbox.com/shop/tpb-resin-kits-and-bodies/xb/xb-aussie-police-pack-decals-available-separatel/ I'm not sure I ever saw a conversion from the Aoshima kit available. I have an old Planet X kit of this one, which is so-so. The one at the link looks MUCH nicer than the one I have. For your money and your trouble, the one at the link from The Parts Box might be the way to go...I have my eye on their Holden HQ for a Nightrider build...

Whatever they filmed on, it made the cars look squashed. The link I posted earlier does take you right to a 4 door Falcon kit. It looks like the best one available to me.

Yahshu Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 6 hours ago, CapSat 6 said: 9 hours ago, WGaree said: Thank you all for your help. The car pictured is the Max Rockatansky/The Dark One, 351, XB, 4 door Falcon. March Hare's was a 250 in line 6 cylinder XA 4 door Falcon. Big Bopper's was a 302, XB 4 door Falcon (ex cop car). Max's black 2 door was a 351 XB GT Falcon. The black car is a Pursuit Special, this fact is made very clear in the 1st movie, it was only called the Interceptor in the 2nd movie. I went to school in the same building complex at the same time that the MM2 cars were being built. There are 2, 2 doors used in the 2nd movie, the original MM1 car & a copy. They are easy to tell apart, the original has its windshield wipers & it's 2 tone paint scheme still on the sides but not on the bonnet (hood), the copy has neither & also the interior does not have as much junk in it as the original does. The Parts Box Max cars are 1/25 scale & will look out of place next to my 1/24 Aoshima kits & as I'm autistic, this will not do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
