Arizona Highway Patrol 1990 Ford Taurus

[av405]

Here's my latest, a 1990-1991 Ford Taurus in Arizona Department of Public Safety livery. I used the Rescue 911 version of the kit as it comes with the correct 1990-1991 interior and has some good police car parts. I did some body work around the wheel wells to de-SHO the kit and turn it into a base model. The wheels (which have separate center caps), front and rear bumpers are 3D-printed pieces I had designed and printed by canuck3D model parts. @Wylde did an excellent job on these. He will be listing these parts on his website (https://wylde.ca/) in the next few weeks. Push bumper is scratch built, light bar is a Dave Panek piece, and decals are a combination of Inquarters and Chimneyville. Unfortunately the door decals on the DPS Tauruses were smaller than on other vehicles , so I trimmed what I had as best as I could to make them look the part.

Absolutely Awesome Build, Alberto!

Your L.E. Models are some of the best I've ever seen. You take the time to sweat the small details, and it really shows.

Good Show.

A very good likeness to the 1:1, well done Alberto.

Cheers,

Looks great!

Beautiful build. The 90's taurus is probably my favorite car of that decade. It looks just as good today as it did back then. Awesome job on the build and photography.

Thanks! My new Iphone 15 has definitely made photography easier, especially with it's zoom features compared to my previous Iphone XS. I wish I could do better with lighting when taking photos.

You're right, most of them seem to be a variant of that.
