Modelhaus 72 Ford Galaxie

[SteveG]

Well, It's finally finished. I thought this project would have gone much faster considering it's a curbside kit but I kept finding more to do with it. If you haven't seen the Movie in a while, this is the one that is used in the first half, not the one that get wrecked at the end. That was a Blue Custom 500.

FYI, I'm not color blind, the Movie car is really Green with a Blue interior, I'm guessing it was a factory freak that Ford was happy to provide. Either that or the studio repainted it as the bad cop's car was painted Blue. Either way I figured if "Dirty Harry" didn't have a problem with why should I? A good man always knows his limitations... right !

Nice one, Steve!

Steve, as I mentioned in your WIP I'm doing the car Harry drove in first movie, allthough I've had to settle with using the Hobby Heaven kit which is a '70 not '68, anyway looks great, I watch the first two movies last night on TV

That is a weird color combo.

I used to have an 88 turbocoupe that was red with blue interior. I always thought that was a little strange.

Anyways, VERY nice work! The car turned out great!!

That Ford came out looking very nice and now I might have to put that movie in the DVD and watch it!

Great job.

Nick,

I'll be watching for your progress on it. In the December issue there is an article with photos of '68 Ford LTD sedan. Maybe you can post a question in the "Ask Model Cars" section and get more details on how it was done. That one would make for a great "Dirty Harry" Ford Sedan.

It is a very "sharp" build indeed!

Yes, I noticed the "green/blue wonder why" as well?

I just watched all three movies last week!

Great movies, Great Actor!

Thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful build!!!!!,as far as the colors,Ford did have the standard police package "blue" interior

with green,white,black,red and blue body colors....again an awesome build!!!!!!!

[jedimastergary]

Nice one looks good

[Tumbler75]

This car looks awesome!! And here I thought GM was the only ones who mismatched colours interior/exterior wise. I had a 1982 Chevy Celebrity that was Tan w/ Blue interior and a 1985 Euro that was Black w/ Blue Interior. Keep up the great work!

[AzTom]

Great looking build.

[Ford guy]

Great build Steve! Looks awesome!

[Danno]

Another great encore!

[ChrisBcritter]

Very very clean build - and not only is the license number correct, but the font is more accurate than what they used in the movie!
