Any suggestions for a 28mm scale Sheriff's SUV?

Suitable for investigating Strange Things?

I have the Law men, they just need a ride.

I recently bought a Siku Dodge Ram. Its black with a large RAM LAW shield on the Bonnet and the same shield with Police 911 written on the side. Supposedly 1/50th scale. I have thrown the box away so can't give any more info.

GDonk, I think Ultravanillasmurf means this 1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer from 'Stranger Things':


Ultravanillasmurf unfortunately you won't be able to have your hobby spoon-fed to you, with no official 1/56 (or 1/48) Stranger Things (c) Chief Jim Hopper's (c) Hawkins Police Department (c) 1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer available, but there seems to be a few 1/56 Chevy Blazer's on the market. There's this one:

But it looks a little modern (as it's the 1989 version) and the front grill will need some work. Trying searching in 1/43 too - I found one, but it's the 1978 model and £83.99! (And it's sold out):

Edit: or what pacarat said.

Ok - I wasn't aware of that particular show and was going to suggest a more generic (and modern) vehicle - conversion of the del Prado 1/53 Hummer Forest Fire Engine

Thanks.

The Siku range looks interesting, I will have to find a stockist to compare scales.

I suppose it might be possible to convert one of these.

I found this, only vaguely related.

Cool, thanks.

They do some other interesting stuff including a light vehicle by this lot, the DAGOR.

Thanks.

I had not seen the taxis (Wymalia had a Hilux on his Cold War thread). The Ford taxi would work as a more modern car.

Having just started on the modern Spectre Technical, [edit] I am pleased to see that they are one piece.

I wonder how they compare with Spectre, Empress and other 28mm "scale" vehicles.
