1/50 Israel Police Ford Fairmont

Here's the model I've just finished.

It's a Ford Fairmont of the Israel Police. They used these cars in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
I didn't plan to build this vehicle but when I was looking for some B&W photos of the old IDF equipment I came across this Ford and I thought it would be an excellent choice for my next project.
That's how it began...

The model is based on free FDS kit.
I resized it to 1/50, repainted and also modified to make it more accurate.

Very nice model. Did you foil cover the bumpers in some way?

No, they're just painted chrome silver(X-11 Tamiya acrylic).

Thanks, Sergio.

The next 1/50 I'll build is an Egyptian BRDM-2, from Six-Day War 1967.
Now there's a lot of time to do some abandoned projects.
