Volvo 144 & 145 "Polizei" (CH) by Brekina for Arwico

1/10/2017

The Swiss wholesaler and importer Arwico has released at the end of last year a set of a Volvo 144 and Volvo 145 as used by the Swiss Cantonal Police forces of Basel (Kantonalpolizei Baselland). The first duo consists of specially decorated plastic models made by Brekina. These H0 (1:87) models are offered in a specially decorated window cardboard box. This first set is offered for CHF 39.90 incl. VAT (± € 37/ ± $ 39). Arwico did not want to reveal me how many sets have and/or will be offered. I was told that they normally don't share this kind of info.
Arwico sells this set only in Switzerland. Their item number is 52.92957 and Brekina's item number is BRK 92957.

Two more sets will follow this year:

Kantonspolizei Zürich (Cantonal Police Zürich - CH) – item # 52.92958
Kantonspolizei Waadt (Cantonal Police Waadt - CH) – item # 52.92939

A precise release date has not yet been communicated.

Set # 52.92957 – Kantonalpolizei Baselland (Cantonal Police Baselland)

As you can see from the above photos showing the original Police cars not every detail has been fitted to the scale models. It would have preferred to see Arwico going to the very end and finalizing further details. Brekina has already produced some very exiting as well detailed cars. My educated guess is that the budget reasons have limited the amount of details.

Upcoming sets:

Kantonspolizei Waadt (Cantonal Police Waadt)
