Volvo 343 Police 'NL' by DeAgostini

The international publishing company DeAgostini has launched in Russia a collection featuring Police cars from around the world. The collection who started back in 2013 consist of 1:43 scale models. These models are made out of diecast by Ixo in China. Each model of this collection comes with a booklet and is packed in a blister on cardboard. A second Volvo model has just been released. It is a model of a Volvo 343 in the livery of the Dutch Police forces. The Dutch Police used the Volvo 343 from the end of the 1970's into the 1980's. The Volvo 343 had a couple of different liveries over the years. Here is a link with infos regarding this Dutch Police car : politievoertuigen.nl
The Volvo 343 'Police' (NL) is officially sold for 369.00 RUB (± 6.50 EUR). This model is however surprisingly an exact copy of the model which has been offered in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas. The model was released in spring of 2014 (see here). The only difference between the two releases is that DeAgostini sells the Volvo 343 on a blister on cardboard. The models from the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas are limited to that specific collection. This normally means that not one Volvo which has been designed for the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas can be offered in the same color and/or livery in another collection or offered under another label.
