FINALLY, UPDATE ON FRR 1/43 DODGE DIPLOMAT!

[FRR INFO]

It's taken awhile but I'm pleased to announce that an improved version of the Motor Max based 1/43 scale Dodge Diplomat will happen offered exclusively through First Response Replicas.

After alot of back and forth the only way to make this work will be for us to tool the additional needed parts to bring it up to a standard collectors and custom builders will find favor with. We'll source the basic unpainted, unassembled parts from MM and have them finished in our factory along with the rest of our police line. They will be an FRR manufactured product.

New tooling will include: an accurate three piece wheel, tire and dog dish hubcap, era correct push bumper, a more accurate hood ornament, front license plate bracket, left and right outside mirrors and additional roof light options. Whip antennas and spotlights will be sourced from the existing FRR molds. Interiors will be painted in an era correct color vs. molded in blank.

And before you guys rush to fill up my in box, yes, blanks will be available. At least a pre-painted white and one or two black and white schemes. As with our other blanks no holes will be drilled and a complete accessory parts bag will be included. Additionally, by tooling our own era correct parts they'll be offered in our "Parts Department" for your kit-bashing enjoyment.

Initial releases will include two premiers waiting on this car and a few major cities. Some states will follow. Production of each decorated version will be in limited numbers.

With enhancements this model should be a worthwhile addition to your collections and custom builders should relish the new model building opportunities.
 
First Response Replicas remains dedicated to the 1/43 scale police model collector.

Dennis:

This will definitely be one of the best sellers! This is tremendous news. The 1:24 MM version is gaining much interest from older collectors in our market. With this news, we will no doubt be adding to our build capabilities for our collectors. The small customizers here on the Canadian side of the 49th, will also have another product to draw from our inventory for their needs.  Thanks again!

Great news Dennis.  I like the thought of better details than the motormax cars now.  Thanks again for the update.

And the PSP Whelen strobe: similar to the one on the '88 WRC, but with a white base and integral siren.
