I am planning to start my police car collection. Can anyone advise me where I can order/browse online some 1/24 or 25 model kits?
Tks!

Hmmm.... Light Commercial modeling is a fine hobby and one that not many get really involved in. I'd say Hobby Heaven would be a good place to start so that you could get your hands on both Revell's 2n'1 Caprice kit and Johan's 1968 Plymouth Fury police car kit. They're two of the must haves, from what I understand. Also, the AMT 1970 Fire Chief's Impala is a good one as I recall.

As far as decals, I'm not sure about websites, but a good company is Chimneyville Hobbies. They're the top specialist in that field.

well, there's alot of choices, depend apon which manicupality you wanna do, also there is a HOLE range of aftermarket company's at there making resin police car parts, here are the kit that can be converted into police car

AMT, Ford Taurus ( Robocop kit)
AMT Chevy Tohoe
AMT Ford Expedition
AMT 78 Dodge Monaco 4dr (Joker Goon car)
AMT snap 95? Chevy Blazer
Revell Chevy Caprice
Lindberg 97 Ford Crown Vic.
Revell 98 Chevy Camaro
AMT Mustang GT's, not the Cobra( AMT Mustang is alot more accurate then the Revell)
the's are the kits of cars that have police options for the 1:1
but you could come up with something different and call it a police Repo

if you can wait till December 04 Revell has an 04 Impala police kit coming out

if you can work with metal there's
Testers 98-present Crown Vic
Maisto 2001-present Impala, (I'd wait for the Revell kit)

Johan also has a great 68 Plymouth Fury Police car kit but I doubt if you wanna go that old,

here's a Pennsylvania State Police car I build for a little inspiration.

BTW, I have no idea which kits the import kit makers have like Aoshimo, Fujimi, or Tamiya, I believe Aoshimo has a couple, but I don't know what they are

the only mustang police cars were the fox style mustangs. Although i have seen a 1999 GT Used by Iowa state police.

I have a few police cars that I found at Wal-mart. They were all fords though, so I burned them, or turned them into demo derby cars.
