My idea is to make either the maxpro or rg31 as a uk police vehicle either met police or psni, in white with the batenburgh stripes.

BAE Caiman MRAP? "The Fort Pierce Police Department unveiled their newly acquired mine-resistant ambush protection armored vehicle.
The 61,700-pound, six-wheeled battle wagon is a rolling fortress and is meant to give the SWAT team protection during high-risk situations. Though it’s worth nearly $700,000, the Fort Pierce PD purchased the like-new vehicle from the Department of Defense for only $2,000, New York Daily News reports.
“If you see my SWAT team roll up in this, it’s over, so just give up,” said Police Chief Sam Baldwin.
While Baldwin is willing to deploy his new MRAP if necessary, he hopes it just stays parked at the department.
The 1997 National Defense Authorization Act allows surplus military equipment to be sold to U.S. law enforcement entities, typically for a reduced price. To date, more than $4.2 billion worth of gear has been transferred.

Who wants SWAT / Sheriff decals for the Maxxpro kit? I have been contacted by Kinetic to consider these options. Already dug up some info and details on the badges to start a few... but I gotta to know if the demand is good, as the badges are a killer to produce. I have got a blue one, black, brown/black from different counties, including a few shown here. You know me, if I am going to do it, it will be for the whole 9 yards...
A show of hands please.
Btw, I just happened to know that navistar also produces yellow school buses too... seen two versions at least...

Hello out there Kriegsketten. Just wonder if any more news on ECHELON civilian markings? Appreciate any updates or thoughts. I guess I always believed in "Build it and they will come"

Now folks in gov't are second guessing making this equipment so available ...By Stephen Dinan and Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Friday, August 15, 2014
The top Senate Democrat overseeing the military said Friday that Congress will reexamine the programs that allow state and local authorities to buy or borrow military equipment, as the backlash against heavily armed and armored police grows.
Officials ranging from Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to Sen. Rand Paul have criticized police use of military equipment to quell protests in Ferguson, Missouri, this week, and Sen. Carl Levin, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said it’s time to review the federal government’s role in aiding the spread of the equipment.
“We intended this equipment to keep police officers and their communities safe from heavily armed drug gangs and terrorist incidents,” he said. “Before the defense authorization bill comes to the Senate floor, we will review this program to determine if equipment provided by the Defense Department is being used as intended.”
Interested in any news on the decals still

Good to see the police is prepared for world war III. I am also interested in the police decals.
I wonder what are the maintenance costs of the ridiculous monsters. It seems some departments have way too much money. But I like the black Cayman, it does not get more intimidating.

No light bars in 1/35, but they have police cars in 1/32 that you could use the light bars from.
