Model Car Construction

Hey guys just thought I'd share my most recent "install" lol its a '97 CVPI with custom decals, and plate number of an actual unit in my area, as it was back in '97. It's now a much newer car lol but I couldn't find a kit for the newer model CVPI's.

It's not as expensive as lights and emergency equipment! lol It's very fun, since they came out with inkjet compatible decal paper, the possibilities have become limitless! The website I deal with has decal sets for just about any agency you can think of. Unfortunately, they're not quite that far on the fire side.

Don't the die-cast models that have the flashing LEDs sell for hundreds of dollars?

I've never gotten into those, but I wouldn't doubt it.

Yes, but real cars with flashing LEDs sell for thousands of dollars. No comparison.

Looks great, how many hours did you get into it?

 

[emt322636]

Its a very basic kit, no engine, undercarraige or suspension. I probably only had 10-12 hours work into it.

Nice build, What supplier do you use on the decals?
