Volvo S80 "Lögreglan" (Icelandic police) by Editions Atlas

The number eighty-nine in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo S80 in the livery of the Icelandic Police "Lögreglan". As you will know by now I'm not especially into Police cars and my knowledge is as limited as it gets. I have however tried to do some researches. The S80 was not the very first Volvo the Icelandic police services have used. They have adopted among others these Volvo models into their car fleet: V70, XC70, XC90, V90 Cross Country.
As you can see on the following photos this 1:43 scale model is a pretty exact copy of the real Police car. A very few tiny details are a little off:

• there are only seven blue stripes on the car whereas the original has eight horizontal stripes
  
• the tiny little blue lights between the front end rails are missing
• the large blue light on the roof consist in reality of white plastic
• the dot on the side mirrors are a little too small and the color is slightly paler

You will find a few photos of real cars. You will notice that the Icelandic Police had a few cars which have all slightly different details. The first photo shows however the respective current version and livery this replica has been inspired by.
