Mike's Code 3 Models
1/43 Code 3 BMW 530d Touring Metropolitan Police Traffic Car
This was made using a Schuco base model which came in the correct colour of silver. I had to cover the panoramic sunroof and paint the interior black.
I have applied water slide decals from Cheshire999models, sadly no longer available. The lightbar and ANPR sensor are from 2D Models. I painted the mounting feet of the lightbar in matt black.
I ensured I applied the correct style of battenburg as per what the Met use with a wider top deck of boxes (and smaller bottom deck). Call signs and numberplates are from Met vehicles but not authentic to this representation of a traffic car.
The base model is hard to locate and took a year of searching the internet to trace one. It’s a model I’ve had planned for a long time.
