Volvo 343 Politie NL by Editions Atlas

4/29/2014

The number forty-two in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 343 in the colors of the Dutch Police. 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

Personal note :
As you already may know I have really not enough knowledge of Police cars and all their liveries. I just can't tell you if this scale model is correct in every tiny detail and if all the lights, mirrors as well as the Police lettering are in the right place.
Any help is welcome.

Neo scale Model produced just a small batch of the Volvo 343 Police car. Not many do have that model.

The next release will be one of these models which everybody loves and wants.

No, it's not the same as the NEO. It's a different livery.

After this one, as Michelle said, it will be a normal/original and really wanted one... and at least the next 4 too and many more after that.

Don't worry we hear you all but we have to add once in a while a model with existing mould if we want to keep our low prices, and we also have a lot of demands for Police cars, so we will also do one more, but only one until nr. 60.

Can't say I am overjoyed with this one. The 343 is one of the more non-exciting Volvo cars, and we already had a NL police car. If it must be a police car, surely other countries than Sweden and Holland used Volvo cars?
Thank you Michelle for promising something wanted in the next release...

Diecast model of Sugga indeed would be a kind of a dream come true !
To my knowledge, no manufacturer has ever done diecast model of Sugga, or any other Volvo military vehicle...

Bjorn and Volvorine, I think that some of your dreams will come true ;-)

To Volworine: Esdo did. In military green livery (in my collection) and white UN livery. Giocher also did.
And there's a Joker / Junior Driver XC90 Military ambulance Red Cross in my collection...
