Does anyone know of a kit for the modern (1998-2011) body style Ford CVPI’s? (Crown Victoria Police Interceptor). All I can seem to find is the mid-90’s kits, unless I go with a pre-built die-cast model. I want to create a NYSP CVPI. If I can’t find one, I’ll either go with the die-cast or make a Charger.
This is the body style I want in a plastic kit:
This is the only body style I’ve found in plastic:
This is the Charger:
I wish they made more police cruiser plastic kits!
I do not recall the model year but Lindberg has/had a Crown Vic Ohio State Highway Patrol car in 1/25 or 1/24 scale. Lindberg tends to keep models “in production” for a long time so try their web site.
Lindberg still has the Crown Vic patrol car AND the Dodge Charger (current Charger).
Yes, but what I’m asking is if anyone makes a kit for THIS body style:
No, there was never a plastic kit of the 2000 and up CV.
Diecast was/is the only way to get one.

Thanks, agentg, I’ll either do a Charger or get the die-cast and try to do a bangin’ paint/decal job.
I couldn’t find that particular body style CV so I just bought the diecast. The diecast licence plate is from a Troop F car. The NYSP decals are available at the policecarmodels website. The decals are a bit older so they include the reflective stripes between the tail lamps.
Any pics you can share? Also, what paint did you use for the blue?
The car was prepainted. I won’t be able to take any pics because I ended up leaving it at my old station in Troop “C”.
Ah, then I suppose some experimentation is in order…
I think that dark sea blue would be a good start. Blue Angel Blue is a bit too light in color I think.
The official color used is State Trooper Blue…although not available in a hobby paint. Good luck in you quest and be sure to post pics of your completed troop car.
