CHiPs 1978 Dodge Monaco 1/43rd Greenlight

[M1968Q]

Well one plus to Connecticut's shelter in place order is I'm getting models built! This is a 1/43rd scale Greenlight that started as a Terminator cruiser. I took the model apart and stripped off all of the paint. I repainted it using Rustoleum gloss white and gloss black. The decals are from InQuarters and the pushbar, antenna, spotlights, and TwinSonic lightbar are First Response Replicas parts. The interior was untouched as it came in the proper tan color. I opted to make it a "CHiPs" car by adding the "C-42" decals to the roof - as I recall they had three different numbered cars, C-18, C-22 and C-42. The third photo shows it with two of the my other CHP builds, on the left a 1981 Dodge Diplomat and on the right a 1973 Dodge Coronet - the CHP tested one in 1973 and the actual car still exists and was restored by its current owner.

As I said over on the Book, looks great. I didn't notice the steady burn amber before. Nice touch,
