A/M NYPD Light/Sirens

[SfanGoch]

I'm planning to build a NYPD RMP, circa 1970,

using the AMT 1970 Ford Interceptor kit. The main problem with the kit is that it doesn't have the correct light/siren combination. I need the Federal Beacon Ray 175-H High Skirt Light and Federal Pulsator Siren

as used by the NYPD from 1964-70. The Jo-Han GC-1300 1968 Plymouth Fury Police Car contains the correct parts; but, I can't see paying upwards of 75 bucks to cannibalize the kit just for those parts.

So, are there any A/M companies which produce these particular items? I've searched every possible site, including evilBay, with nothing. Any help will be appreciated.

im no expert by any means on police sirens, lights and such, but I have seen a lot of 1/25 resin fire truck and police sirens and lights and the like on ebay and a lot of the stuff appears to be the older style stuff.

The problem with the Johan Federal light is the dome is red not clear as NYPD had, The early Johan kits were tinted color which could be removed with oven cleaner.

Try posting a swap/trade here and see what happens,

There are aftermarket people doing police stuff. I just saw one listed in the Car Aftermarket/ Resin section. Shouldn't be too far down the list.

@ Sam, the first place I checked was eBay. Unfortunately, the lights and sirens for fire trucks differ from the types used on patrol cars (NYPD types, at least). I did save the pages for future reference for when I get around to building a 60s-70s era Pumper.

You're absolutely correct about the earlier GC-13000, Greg. I remember that being the case and the earlier kit is what I would've looked for if I had no alternative.

Thanks for the heads up, Mike. I found the thread. Custom Squads makes a CS-SR/BR3 (NYC Vintage) Siren/Rotator package which is exactly what I need.

Thanks to you all for taking the time to reply.
