It looks 3d printed, perhaps that's the reason for the price?  But I agree, drop Stan a line, he's very approachable

Awesome mod! Never knew Hot Wheels made one but I guess it doesn't surpise me.

The Stan one is $20, I just got it the other day for my best friends birthday. Its a nice little kit and feels so tiny. Guess I'm used to the 1/43rd stuff I use lol

Mingnas,
I'd be interested to see a comparison pic of it next to a 1/43 car if you're able.  I'd be curious to see how his 28mm stuff compares to the 1/43 cars that make up most of my modern and post-apoc vehicles.

Funny. The link i sent over shows an estimate sale price of $10. Seems a bit of a markup.
Give Stan a ring a ding ding and see what the real price is since he has conflicting prices.

I can clear this up.

I think the one on the page  Grimmnar was referring to (with proposed price) is the 20mm scale car. Everything else on that page is 20mm and relatively compatible with Hot-Wheels and matchbox size cars.  The $10 price is in line (cheaper than the metal cars actually) with the rest of his 20mm stuff.

The one recently added to the front page is also in the 28mm section, and hence the higher price, though one that is in line with his other 28mm vehicles.

That makes more sense...  Cheers for clearing that up!

This is the response form Stan the Man.
"Yes the Falcon will be available in 2 scales

28mm which is $20.00 and is available now. and 20mm which had a couple of problem areas so we sent it to be re-printed and should be available late September for $10.00.

Here you go...

Thanks! Those pics are perfect as I have that same police car.  The Interceptor is a neat looking model, well done, and probably perfectly "true-scale-28mm". However, IMHO it's just too small to look right next to a 28mm figure on a slotta. Too bad.  It'd probably look great next to 25mm stuff based on washers though.

Love that Ice Cream Truck! I passed one up a while ago and am kicking myself for doing so. Seems like it'd be an easy conversion to a camper or panel truck as well.
