This is a current list of Magnums to be made. Others will be added. Three of the black and white versions that feature the most commonly used b&w paint scheme will also be done as blanks complete with accessory parts. Blanks will be made when the decorated model using the same paint scheme is made so releases will be staggered.

One more thing, these have straight axles, swapping out wheels is simple although a 3/32 drill bit to enlarge the hole in the replacement wheel helps. If anyone can't work with these they need to find a new hobby. lol.

A number of Canadian departments are included with at least one more to be added. They are widely used there and Canadian markings are very bold and colorful making for an interesting model.

We had only 12,000 pieces total made of the Magnum so the entire scope of the series will be limited. With the PSP project taking a significant portion of those, production quantities will be in the 312-360 piece range for each permitting a greater variety of versions to be offered but in smaller numbers.

Additionally, images and/or line art for each will soon be available on our website including a line drawing for each blank b&w version without any markings so you can plan your projects and to assist decal makers.   

 
Here's the list:

1. SFPD  (blank in this b&w scheme also)
2. San Diego Harbor Police (blank in this b&w scheme also)
3. Boca Raton Fla. Premier, order info will be available shortly, please do not contact the department. (blank in this b&w scheme also)
4. Harrisburg, Pa.
5. Mobile Co. Sheriff Alabama
6. Montgomery Co. Md. P.D.
7. St John, New Brunswick, Canada
8. Waterloo Regional, Ontario, Canada
9. Hamilton,Ontario, Canada
10. Canadian Pacific Railway Police
11. Border Patrol
12. Blank white
13. Georgia State Patrol K-9
14. Aurora, Ill.
15. B&W #1
16. B&W #2
17. B&W #3

Thanks a lot for all of the info Dennis.  It looks like Bill (Bilbozo) will have some ideas for new decals, and be very busy.  It seems like he is the only decal maker left that is coming out with new new decals.  I think it's a great gesture on your part to provide the line art for the cars so that decal making will be even easier...Thanks!

Yes, absolutely. They are intended primarily for custom builders and will be posted in the very near future. It's just a matter of getting them there. Not enough hours in the day.

Can anyone use very dark blue or black plain versions?? I forgot to have some blank silver ones run with the Georgia but there may be another silver done and blanks would be made then.

Personally...no need for plain black.  With the blank black & white versions coming, the San Diego Harbor version would only require a very easy painting of the front white door if somebody would need an all balck one.

Dark blue...Don't need it.  Just look at all of the plain dark blue Crown Vics that are still in stock at the dealers.
