I wanted a pace car for scenery purposes on my track and found something pretty cool a few weeks ago. It's the Matchbox Impreza police car. I simply scratched off the word "police" with an x-acto knife (didn't hurt the paint) and voila! Now it just needs a little painting of details.

Scratch a little harder dude, I can still read "Police" on the door. :tongue:

Cool idea -- and it is the right color to match the FIA pace car.

I scored a couple of Siku brand medical and safety cars a couple years back. I'll try to add a pic later when I'm done messing about in the slot cave.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

OK I was shooting some other pics and got a few of the Sikus I mentioned --

Oh come on. You don't seriously expect me to expend the energy to take an actual pic of the end result do you? Heh.

Those are way cool! I've never run across those.

Great lookers for a static displays. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr
