I was also going to ask on the number plate. I have heard it is the patrol sector but I can’t say so with any conviction. We

And, like on the real one, the numberplate on top of the lightbar can be removed :lol:

By the way can somebody explain me what this numberplate is for :?: Is it maybe the badge number of the officer "driving" or "in charge/responsible", or does the missing numberplate mean the vehicle is out of service??

while I got stuck with another project again, I decided to finally attack this "quick and simple" modification of the 1/18th scale 1987 Chevrolet Caprice from the manufacturer "MCG" (Model Car Group). This version is in the Chicago PD livery.
This police cruiser is a pretty good replica of the units used back then. But like the NYPD version, it also has it´s flaws.
Whilst the markings, wheels and even the license plates are pretty much spot on, the lightbar is totally of, as well as the huge spotlight :(
At least the NYPD version had the correct lightbar style, but on the Chicago one, being the same mold, it doesn´t work at all :cry:

So this had to be changed and of course the "simple" modification turned out to be not as easy and simple as I expected :roll:
For the first time I´ve only done a video of the building progress, so there are no pictures of it.
But once the material is cut and put properly together, I will post a link to the video :D

But now to the model, starting with the origin version (note that in the video I showed the unmodified basemodel, whilst here I already had altered the spotlight :? ) .
