Lindberg 1997 NYPD Ford Crown Victoria police car 1/25 scale

Unboxing, full build & review of the Lindberg 1997 Ford Crown Victoria police car Super Snap Tite model kit

[@davidhinkson8856]

I must say I enjoy these police vehicle builds, especially the solutions you come up with to include the figures in them.

[@davidchin350]

You got it David. I think every kit should come with a figure🙂

[@EdsAttentionToDetail]

My experience with Lindburg kits has been less than stellar but you made that one look easy. Great job and congrats the 700 club!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Ed, some Lindberg are not too bad. This Crown Vic is somewhat modern tooling.👍

[@downthethroatmodeling]

Very interesting and informative build. Well worth the trials and tribulations. I had some great take aways at the expense of your efforts. Thanks 👍👌

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Rick, I think others have flawless paint jobs because they don't use cheap Rustoleum like I do. Glad my lengthy video had some useful take aways.🙂

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Not bad at all David! Nice inbox review, assembly and painting. Great modification of the figures as well. Clear coat is always weird, you never know when it will react, we use all these different products, that is a reason. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks for watching George, think you will build a Greek police car someday?

A beautiful model, nice job on the figures...and nice interior details!

Very nice David. I really liked how it turned out for you. I enjoyed watching, it's a very well put together video. Keep up the great work my friend

[@davidchin350]

Thanks for watching my lengthy video Arden. I enjoyed this build even with the paint and figure challenges.🙂

[@vicsminiatures7949]

Wonderful work David. The figures look great and I like the modifications you made to them. The car looks awesome.

Thanks Vic, I enjoyed the policewomen figures sitting in the patrol car.

[@frizzosmodels]

Looks great David. These are fun kits nicely detailed. You did a fantastic job with figures and the car. 👊🤘👍

Thanks Frank, I'm looking forward to that modern 4 door Charger kit from round2😁👍

I can't believe we've yet to get the last generation Crown Vic in styrene. It was in production from 1998-2011 and many are still in service.

[@davidchin350]

I agree Ed I can try to turn the new AMT 2021 Charger R/T into a cop car.🙂

[@TI4438]

@@davidchin350 I was thinking the same thing. Our local cop cars are awesome looking.

Superb model. I really like figurines. I would love to do a Crown Victoria TAXI.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Seamus, I'm trying to make it as close to your greenlight die cast🙂

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Real nice build David! The figures came out excellent. I believe I saw a resin transkit recently for the 2nd gen Crown Vic body for this kit. Looks great!

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Mike, I'll keep my eye out for the 2nd Gen Crown Vic resin. The lindberg snap kit should be an excellent donor for that resin body??

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

@@davidchin350 I can’t seem to find it now, but it was a 3D resin print that recommended the lindberg kit as a donor. I’ll let you know if I come across the site again. I was doing the rabbit hole thing when I came across it.

[@esuwarriormodelshop6369]

When I put my own decals what I usually do let them dry then I throw either a dull coat on top or a gloss coat let it dry for a few hours and they’re good to go. Those figures definitely have curves I like lol. The undercarriage looks amazing. The girls look great. Is that a gun in her hand or is she happy to see you. With the crack in the windshield gives it character. Amazing job my friend.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Matt, yes the dangerous curves figure is mild eye candy. I need to get a laser printer to replace my ink jet.

I polished the paint then decals then clearcoat. Unfortunately some of the clearcoat had adverse reaction to the paint☹ Thankfully the clearcoat over the decals worked well and I was able to mask over the decals and remove the tape without lifting the decals. 🙂

@@davidchin350 David, I know you use alot of rustoleum paint because its cheap, but think about this. Rustoleum purchased Yestors and has driven it into the ground. Rustoleum will be raising prices on Testors at the end of the month. Many of us have boycotted Rustoleum/ Testors because of this. I know that paint maid specifically for model making is a little more expensive, but they support our hobby, something Rustoleum no longer does. At least buy Krylon. 🤣
