Mad Max

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.

Thank you, I know of this kit, it's 1/25 as a posed to Aoshima's 1/24 & it would look out of scale next to the Aoshima cars that's why I'm chasing the conversion set for the Aoshima car.

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.

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...

the car shown in the pic is a Holden Torana A9X (or cloned to look like)  the only version i know of for sale is from the partsbox  Max’s black interceptor is a 2 door XB Falcon

I think the car in the pic is actually a 4-Door XB Falcon.

The car in the pic is a Falcon, that’s a screencap right from the film. 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.

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.
