Reviews : AMT 2010 Chevy Camaro Police Car

Lets start with the high points. It has a really nice push bar, and if you just HAVE to build a new Camaro Police Car it has 60% of what you need in one box. The weak points, well it has an unrealistic lightbar that does not replicate any real lightbar in service in the US and all the other police lights are decals. Also why must we suffer with generic Police Markings in 90% of the new Police Car kits? Police Deparments don't charge licensing fees so what gives?? Another major fail is a complete lack of any interior police equipment, no radios, radar units, computers, nothing I accept kit manufacturers don't want to put scale weapons in model kits, but I have NEVER seen a Police Car without a Shotgun mounted in real life. I understand that this is just the Showroom Series model of the Camaro with police lights and decals, but the level of detail is lacking AMT's Snaptite Camaro Concept car has more detail than this kit. This is a Curbside with those odd vinyl seats like in the Challenger kits from AMT so watch what paint you use If you must buy this kit buy it where you can get it cheap The price I paid here is about all the kit is worth, I can't believe there are local hobby stores asking 30 for this kit. Wish they had saved 7 on the production costs by not having 7 sets of instructions in different languages (??). My best advice is buy it here, buy it on sale or skip it all together. Order a Lindberg Charger Police Car (lots of good equipment and 8 realistic lightbars) with this kit if you want a passable Police Car or if you want a well detailed Police Camaro order the Lindberg Charger and the Revell Camaro SS glue kit.

Would have been a perfect kit with the motor but no motor
