Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Ford Expedition "Funkmaster Flex Edition" - By Jim Groeneweg


Jim Groeneweg had an extra River Point Station Ford Expedition Police vehicle laying around and wondered how he might make something different out of it. Jim came across a “Funkmaster Flex Edition” that caught his eye with the body color  painted grille. Although the actual Edition was based on a 2008 short wheelbase Expedition, Jim "kinda cloned this one to resemble it but not really!" It was completely dismantled then repainted and reassembled it with the addition of a functional trailer hitch. The color keyed wheels were something they never had on this version either but with only Argent wheels available, this is how it ended up. The only other items removed where the spot lights mounted on the "A" pillar. The Ford oval on the grille and rear door were masked off and clear coated after painting. The actual vehicle had a unique  FMF nameplate applied to the front doors, and the colors separated by an orange stripe; that was a bit of a stretch in this scale so that option was deleted.
