1:18 muscle cars as police cars

I like muscle cars and I like police cars. I have full-scale models of both. Since I bought a 3D printer last year, I thought I would use it to make the spot lights, emergency lights, etc. that I needed to turn muscle cars into police cars. I used my ink jet printer to make the decals. I started out with regular 1:18 scale diecast models. This is my first attempt at modeling, and I don't think it turned out too bad. I learned some things I can use on future models to make them better.

There is actually some factual basis in this model. The sheriff of Catoosa County, GA, used Trans Ams for patrol cars in '78 and '79: Catoosa County

In Honolulu in the late 60 and on, the city patrolman bought their own cars. Saw lots of GTO's, 442's, Dodge Chargers, and Plymouth Road Runners.
