Hi all
Just a marker at the moment, I am assembling paint/decals before starting.
I have the Hasegawa Apache kit ready.
This is inspired by one of the many excellent Clave graphics I will probably adopt a slightly different paint scheme depending on how the decals line up.
More when it happens........

Just the thing for these Radar speed traps...

Oh yea ! :smiley: ;D ;D
-
Would give a new meaning to being underway with "two's and Blue's"
Jam Sandwich scheme might look nice as well.
I have a relo in the UK who was a Met Motorcycle Policeman, so I am very interested in the result to show him. After hearing some of his wild M25 stories, one of these might have been just the ticket.
-
Thanks buzz will probably be a "battenburg " sort of colour scheme, I've recently had a very bad experience with orange paint and its put me off that colour big time. May change my mind if I can find some day-glo decals and I may retain the Hellfires for anti smuggling patrols.
Please share some of the wild stories ;)

Two days ago we (Goonie and I)were looking at these profiles. Great choice for Apache :)

Hi Artoor, sorry can't see a link, is anybody else having this trouble ?
Mog

Exactly what was needed in this case.

Sorry, I meant that we were looking at profiles at Clave's Graphics and noticed Police's Apache. There was no link :)

Or just be assigned to Birmingham.

Hi all
Artoor get what your saying now, Clave is a very rich source of whiffs, his profiles are excellent.
Construction has begun, the body is together and the prop assembled. There is a bit of filling but on the whole it's going together pretty well.
Once the engines, wings and ancillary stuff are on it will be ready for painting.

Hi all
Theres gonna be a bit of a delay, for some unknown reason the second coat of primer has crazed on one side of the fuselage, its gonna take some time to rectify. Hopefully i will still make the deadline.

P.S. i have noticed that some wag has tweaked my profile regarding my comments about orange paint ???. I will be posting a reply/explanation shortly about my " bad experience" ;)

AAAH -- Paint demons show up at your place too.

Hi All
Managed to defeat the paint demons only to be visited by the decal elves, first time I've had any problems with home made decals but I think the result is acceptable although not perfect.
Here's the finished model.....

It looks very good! Well done!
-
:smiley:
-
Just the Ticket... although with the not sure I would welcome receiving one of those wing mounted "tickets"
Nice work :smiley:
-
Wow - it looks so different in white. I guess guns and rockets is an effective way of stopping freeway chases...
-
Thanks guys,
I figured that the British police would need some teeth in the future, so what better than a cast off army Apache helicopter ;) :D :D

beautiful!! Now you need a scaled-down version of one of those "Road Patrolled by Aircraft" signs.

Thanks guys.
For some reason I have a diorama idea with the Apache behind the trees and a cop at the roadside with a speed camera :D
hmmmm a metropolitan police Tiger tank aaah ! Stop putting ideas in my head !!! ;D ;D ;D ;)
Mog
>^-.-^<
-
Oh Yeah, you got it. :smiley: White with high-viz markings makes sense for anti-collision air safety.
Metropolitan police Tiger tank with "SWAT" markings.
-
Or "battenburgh" markings like the Apache
I am soooooo tempted ..... ;)
Mog
>^-.-^<
-
Yield to that temptation, it may not pass your way again.
-
Tiger's too old & slow, Abrams or a T-80/90 is a better bet! ;D
Unless you want the roads to remain usable after the chase, in which case a wheeled IFV may be better. ;)
-
Absolutely right,
However I've sourced an old Tiger tank from the defunct 60's /70's wargaming stash it's going to happen !
Coming soon to a Land forum near you ..............

We're talking about a Police tank and you're worried about practicalities??!! ;D
-
Around here in Alberta, the cops have one of these ----- although the one that was used in a stand-off 20 odd km away was this one in the bottom photo.

The Police tank has started
