"Retired 440" - Force 440 Police Pursuit Vehicle
Comments
Christian WEverything is there. The half down cranked window, the messy interior what you need for an old car (in this shape 😄) and the "it still rolls" optic. Good is: he has new whiper blades 😄 That's important. Dafety first.
I like what you did with it. I didn't knew, that it wasn't complete.
Nigel ChapmanLooks just right. Any more interior photos? I always fancied one these kits myself.
Dominik WeitzerThank you Christian, Nigel. Nigel, i will try to make better pictures from the interior. perhaps i can make body off.
Nigel ChapmanExcellent, seems a shame not see all your work, that interior looks spot on
Dominik WeitzerNigel, i tryed to take the interior apart, but it is really good glued in. I made some pictures as goog as possible😉
Chris ParsonsI actually had one (real one) it had a 360 CID (5.9L) not a 440 (7L.) your build Looks like the real thing
Nigel ChapmanThanks for the photo's Dominik, that interior is awesome. I love the missing rear shelf. That is genius !!
Album info
and here it is. The "Force 440" .
in my view an awesome kit! sadly, it was never re-issued again. couple years ago i got this kit in the States rather than a coincidence. it was not 100% complete, the price plus shipping to Germany was fine. after it arrived, in that time, i became a second one in Great Britain and had the change, to complete one kit "in nearly new condition", became a new decalsheet also (taht was a real crazy time!) and now i had the rest of the first kit, not complete.
the Idea, what to do with it was like a lightning and so this bad boy was born in a couple days. His Name "Retired 440" was in my mind before beginning the work.
Of course, the decals were too old. i painted the shillouette of the original "440" and eagle, weathered the rest of the exterior and interior.
