I just saw that Preiser offers two sets of 1:32 (actually useable in 1:35) scale german police officers. While assembled/painted at least one kit matches the Diopark police car

Hi MBR,

Yes, the scale options are little strange in my opinion (1:32 and 1:22 ???), but the 1:32 policemen are suitable in a modern era dio.

Thanks for information

Preiser is a model railroad accessories company. Their scales correspond with train scales.

Yes Gino, just now I've checked their website. A lot of things in 1:87, of course.

But interesting things in 1:35 as well...

Interesting yes but the quality is pretty poor compared to what we expect from modern offerings especially when considering the price. That said, with a bit of work you can get some very useful looking civilians.

Quality on the unassembled kits is "usable", one might want to replace the heads. They are also cheaper with 5-8 figures around 10-15€

The kits are partially or completely useable well into the 1950s/60s and sometimes later like their "Railroad workers". Sometimes with a bit of minor surgery (dropping a backpack i.e)
