That look's awesome !!! At first I thought " It's too clean." It need's some "weatherizing" But then I remembered it's a SWAT vehicle..... no "Hardcore" battle action. Washed by the motor pool guy's on a daily basis. Still don't want to see it out front my house..... ( Oh great. Now what did I do  ) |

Very nice model! I think I've got the Revell/Italeri M901 TUA in the stash, I could do something similar. Except, of course, rather than "SWAT" it would be "Speed Limit Enforcement"... Cheers, M |

"Where is the "K" Leon?"I like the idea of a fictional "Dorakville" with its wide range of ex-military vehicles re-purposed for use by the civil authorities in all their exotic liveries. There could be the Dorakville Sanitation Departments M163 VADS "Pigeon Fouling Reduction Initiative", the Farming and Fisheries M270 MLRS "Feral Hog Population Control", the M88 "Parking Enforcement" vehicle and so on... Cheers, M

If you want to continue this theme, there are even more possibilities. Apparently when people were told they had to hand back their tracked military vehicles because they were too intimidating and alienating the populace, everyone were given a variety of MRAPs instead. Not intimidating at all, those...
