    Yes. How I started to really love Alpine Renault for reals. As well as Rally, but this model had me smitten. It was also one of the rare Cars available here (Can) that I found to give the Mad Max feel while playing. Great Police Conversion, top job finish!

    Many French sports cars were used by the gendarmerie, not by the police it is not necessary to mix all. The gendarmerie used them on the highways as an interception car, the Matra Jet, the Alpine A110, the Alpine A310, and also the Citroën SM Maserati. His vehicles were used in the '70s. My father was a gendarme, so I’m familiar with that.

    I love the color and the way this turned out. The headlights look a little disappointing, wondering if some chrome behind them would help. Great wheels and I love how you replaced the mirrors.

    Really looks good! The mirrors seem a bit out of scale, and Majorette gave them poor placong to begin with (they should sit below the beltline on the doors), but you did a great job overall. Love seeing different diecast brands being used.

  • @blanbec14
    @blanbec14 5 лет назад +1

    What !? You tuned a genuine Gendarmerie A310! I DO like your vids. Always very nice finish. But here it was a real interceptor on highways in the 70’s when French gov came with speed limits. Before these little sporty bleu cars gendarmes were unable to stop Citroën SM or Porsche. So this model is not a joke from Majorette company but a real case. It is almost impossible to find the real one now.
