Well, the TMPD Move blends well into its typical habitat.  ;D

That is the funniest looking cop car ever.  ;D ;D ;D ;D  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I can just imagine one of them trying to catch a hopped up Nissan R34 coupe.  ;)

Well, kei cars are not uncommon in Japanese service, even though there are certainly better choices for motorway chases...  ;D E.g. this here:

My first thought  ;)

Really nice Dizzy  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Me too.  Certainly looks at home in the city streets of Japan, and would be in some rural communities too.

I think even the highways could be patrolled by some of those pocket rocket Kei cars, suitability tuned.  Future build maybe?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thank you, too! BTW, in the meantime I found this here:

Unexpected - but apparently I am not too far away from reality with my model.  :angel:

Not overly surprised, really. After all, not every police car is a traffic pursuit vehicle. :thumbsup:

Good job Dizz.  Looks the biz.
:thumbsup:

One tip, black wash in the panel gaps on white vehicles always looks too harsh.  I use thinned Tamiya Smoke acrylic paint.  It gives the required dark line but isn't too stark.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Hmm, I used my usual thinned black in washing, and actually applied three "layers" on the door and panel outlines because I found the initial, rather translucent/grey effect, not convincing.  :o
Smoke is a great weapon for this task, nevertheless, but I prefer the ink because it can be wiped off a lot easier than the Tamiya stuff.  ;)

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand it :rolleyes:. I don't know all Japanese cars that well.
Is this model not a whiff or are you saying that somebody copied/used your model without permission? :o
