Nice to see one of these in NI patrol colors- I assume this is the Airfix kit? Do the decals for the freephone number come in the kit?

Yes this is the Airfix Snatch which i have back dated and added the Blue lights which are scratch built. The decals dont come with the kit no so the ones i have used are from BW Models and are 1/76 scale but were bigger in size as designed to go on there Bedford MK NI version but fit quite well.

Thanks guys for the comments , i fix them to the base with a small dab of superglue it works well and if you want to remove it from the base then a small blade slid under the tyre removes it fro the base.
