El Paso Police Department (TX) Chevrolet Impala. I used the Revell snap kit, policedecalsanddeals/Rhonda Keraly decals, MX7000 lightbar from the Lindberg Crown Victoria kit, aftermarket pushbar, and a combination of Tamiya paints for the exterior. During my research, I found slight variations in decals and light bars as used on real EPPD Impalas. I went for the variation that I could do with the decals on hand. As I was not able to verify what interior color EPPD used on their Impalas, I chose to replicate the Regal Blue interior that was popular at the time.

I did not enjoy painting the exterior plastic cladding and trim and this is where most of my mistakes occurred. The panel washes are a bit dark, but I went down that route to cover up some mistakes. Real photo is posted at the end for reference.
