Strathclyde Police, Early 2000’s, 1/72 scale

            Long time followers will likely be aware of my interest in modelling the Police of Scotland. Having served for 6 years as a Special Constable, first with Tayside and then the unified Police Scotland, I intend to have a fleet of “Polis motors” that reflect vehicles and liveries used from 1990-present day.  

Some new additions to my collection are:

1) Newly completed a Kingsway model, full relief, kit - “LBW Local Bank/Post Office/Police Station Wingham 1/76”. 

2) 3D Printed sets, “Policeman arresting youth”and “Police motorbike & rider”. All items arrived plain resin, I have painted and finished with the smallest waterslide transfers I can find, both for uniforms and the motorbike. 

3) Recently completed a second model to depict Tayside Police in the 1990’s. A Vauxhall Astra local patrol car joins T25, the Vectra Traffic car. 

4) Added roof codes to as many vehicles as I could. Call signs are as realistic as possible, although the more I think about it, the more I think the Astra should be EM1-1, not CM1-1.
