Looks good.

Have you seen the Adam Savage video with the 1/6 scale one?

Attached the blue hoses to the side, these carry the wires for the roof lights.


Next was some PE kick plates, secured with screws.


Then onto the light bars. These are mechanical with the reflectors being motorised. I used the supplied grease in the front one and found it incredibly loud, so experimented with some RC ceramic grease in the rear, worked a lot better.





Three more stages and I run out of parts frown

Roof rack put together with lights and siren. The frames are U section rather than box section though, may have to disassemble it, fill and repaint.

Ghost sniffer is rubbish, for some reason the tubes come in two halves that were painted in different shades of red and the white on the box is more grey due to the read plastic not being properly covered. And that folks is it, the rest remains MIA.


Unused screws

Some of the supplied parts that have been replaced.


But wait - some more aftermarket bits for the roof

A few more bits to come.
