Well, I found another one. This time it's a black Nissan Skyline GT called Patrol Car, but I have seen a similar model identified as Machine X on some other sites. Were there two different black cars?
This one is moulded in black with a sprue of clear parts, including the bubblegum light so beloved of unmarked police cars the world over.
The kit has a battery box (well concealed) for operating head-lights (not supplied) and space at the rear for a motor (not supplied). The interior details are good for the scale and aren't compromised by the fitting of toy features.
A strange addition is a small warning triangle, which is included to either allow the car to knock it over, or to steer around. Very strange, but a nice addition all the same... into the Showa Spares Box.
In all this is a nice model... and now I have the incentive to build the two of them!
Now where can I get some sharp-suited Japanese cops in shades?
