Dutch Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) So I have this old IPMS USA 2007 decal kicking around with markings for two Huntington Beach PD cruisers (not even sure what type vehicle as I do not have the instructions). Then as I was walking through my LHS yesterday, I saw they had the Revell 1/25 1971 Ford Bronco kit. I was mildly interested. When I searched for Huntington Beach Police cruisers on the net, I found their annual report from 2015 which included various photos of old patrol cars, including this one below of a Ford Bronco. So, now I have to build it, right!? However, further search on the net reveals nothing. Does anyone in Orange Cty, CA have any photos of the HBPD Bronco (looks like #4392) that they would be willing to share? Thanks. R/ Dutch Okay, I just realized that I should have placed this in the Commercial thread. A thousand apologies. Edited January 15, 2021 by Dutch spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Here is a scan of the HBPD area of the decal. It looks like I could use the door shields, and perhaps the b&w roof and gold side fleet numbers (fictitious, of course as I cannot read the number in the above photo.) But I was really wanting to use the gold HBP titles as well. The license plate is the wrong style, so I will make my own. I will have to source or scratch a spotlight, roof rack and light bar with horizontal lights and siren / speaker. Probably put a whip antenna on the rear bumper / rear fender. Any help with photos would be appreciated. Edited August 29, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Bump. Still need decent photos of Huntington Beach Police Ford Bronco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Perhaps an email to the OC Register might turn up something useful? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 @dnl42 Thanks. Huntington Beach PD has been a zero so far. I will try the OC Register. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 I found an eBay vendor who offers 1/24 & 1/25 emergency vehicle parts, including the old 1960s red beacons and siren for the roof rack, plus radios with mic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) And I also found Gofer Racing 1/24 generic gold letters and numbers for the correct serial number. To make it easy, I have decided that the serial number will be 4392, so I can use the black roof numbers 92 from the IPMS sheet.
