This is my Tamiya 1/48 Hughes 500.  I scratchbuilt the searchlight, cast a resin FLIR turret and made the mount, added interior detail, and used St. Louis Police decals from
Chimneyville Hobbies.  I used Testors Boyd's Hi Gloss White and Model Master Blue for the paint, Tamiya Smoke was used to tint the windows, and I also added photoetched cable cutters.
