av405 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Here's my latest: a mid-70's Dodge D-100 truck of the New Mexico State Police drip gas detail. I used the latest release of the MPC Dodge truck kit but used the wheels and tires from the latest MPC Dodge Monaco release as they have much more depth than the steel wheels that came with the truck kit. The police decals are from Chimneyville and the smaller Dodge-specific decals are from Ray's Kits. The grill is a resin piece from Holy Grain Resin and the tool box is from Olson Brothers Resin. The light bar was mostly scratch built by me using different odds and ends from other pieces. I also stripped and repainted all of the kit chrome for a more realistic finish. I only had a grainy reference photo from a book to go off of, which I've attached at the end. Edited August 2, 2022 by av405 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
