I want to get into this hobby, but I have a few questions.

What is the most popular size?

What size can I get the most parts/accessories/decals for?

Where can I get blank cruisers/SUVs/SWAT trucks for model use?

Welcome to the hobby. I've built a few police cars. But it's been a while.

The best size is either 1/24 and 1/25 scale.1/24 and 1/25 are basiclly the same size. I chose these because they offer the most details like interior police equipment, lightbars, decals, etc.

www.policecarmodels.com is you best source for both cars and accessories. There are a couple other places too, but I can't remember the names off the top of my mind. When I find them, I'll post them.

I don't have the talent nor patience to make models. I merely buy a car if I find one I like. The most recent one is a 1/18 '01 CV NYPD from Toys R Us for $10.99!!!!!!!! :D :cool: It is a Motor Max. I wish that I could find an ohio this size.
