Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here but please don't hold that against me! I have been using this site for a few years as reference to do Police vehicles from my fave Filom and TV programmes in 1/24 1/25 scale.
I guess you can tell my absolute from my user name! Anyhoo I was looking to do a Dodge Diplomat from Cagney and Lacey, yes sorry I'm that sad a cat lady too my latest are called Cagney and Lacey too, that aside can I use the motormax 1/24 Dodge Diplomat for the "hero" car? I have tried to read up on various sites but I cannot find an answer for definite. I hope someone here with better knowledge can help me?
Many thanks in advance,
Hill Street Blue X

Hi there. Thank you both. I think I will get away with using that particular model, over all there does not seem to be too many differences.
Thanks again.

I looked at an episode from Season 4, to see if they changed the car, and they did update with a 1984 gold Diplomat (1984 brought black windshield wiper arms).

Googling it, I came across this one, which is the same model in the same color:

Hope that helps you.
