1:24 Patrol Car Parts B

What the set offers

This is an add-on set of parts in 1:24 scale intended for building a patrol car, that is, an accessory for a kit, not a model. The letter B distinguishes this part from another part of the same line, so the sets can be obtained alongside each other and can complement one another. Which parts the package contains and which vehicle they are drawn for are given in the maker's instructions.

What it is suited to

A patrol car differs from the civil version of the same automobile mainly in the equipment on the roof and in the interior, and it is precisely these small things that decide whether a model comes across as a service vehicle or just as a repainted car. An ordinary kit of the civil version does not have them, so a builder takes them from elsewhere. The set fills this gap and it suits a diorama with a street scene as well, where the vehicle stands as part of the action.

Building and painting tips

First offer the parts up dry against the body and verify exactly where they belong; with the parts on the roof in particular the position is hard to correct once the glue has dried. Cut the excess material off with a sharp blade and sand the edge. Choose the glue according to what the parts are made of; with parts that are not of polystyrene, cyanoacrylate glue holds more reliably. Paint the small sections before gluing, as a brush reaches them less well on a completed body.
