Well here's part 2 of a multi part guide and it has more vehicles I customized

 

 Here is a customized  Porsche 356 Speedster for Polizei Düssledorf / Köln region it is White with Black Polizei Print. Also has a unit number 18 on the roof  in Green and a Blue gumball on the left side of the wind shield mounted on a small pole and the siren on the hood at rear . It used to be a generic race /rally car until converted for Polizei service. No brand name. It has Black Polizei print on the trunk, doors, and hood at the rear and Red tail lights and a chrome chasis.

 

Here is a Polizei VW van converted from a Osco Drugs in Champaign, Illinois key chain with rubber tires and pull back and go motor.

Osco Drugs is no longer in buissness it features a Blue gumball and Polizei print in White on the sides and In Black on th roof and in front I painted the tail lights Red as they were Yellow before...  about 1:87 scale

This is a Polizei Porsche 928 and here's the story behind it, My father ran over a car mowing the lawn and brought it in to me and I looked it over real good and it was a Police car and was Dark Blue with 2 holes in the roof and some Police markings and a eagle badge on the hood (These models of Porsche 928 through 968 had the motor in the front of the car) and what was left of the word Police on the doors but the chassis was almost shattered and had a compartment for 2 buton size batteries. So I replaced the chassis and stripped all the Dark Blue and original markings off and painted the car White and fixed the rear Left side of the roof which was smashed in by the mower (the windows were Black non see through as this I belive if complete would have been a Majorette Sonic Flasher with 2 flashing Red gumballs and a siren) then when the paint dried I applied the 2 Dark Green stripes you see in the photos which I made from stickers of Lime Green stripes from a Buzz Light Year space ship happy meal toy decal sheet I found in a ditch near by while cleaning out the culverts on my previous job with the city maintenance crew (I kept the sticker sheet knowing I could use these on something some day but never believed I would) I painted them Dark Green and stuck them to the sides of the car. Next step was to create a set of gumballs to fill in the roof holes, This I do with metal cement by applying about 3 globs and molding them in to shape and after they dry I applied a coat of Clear Blue paint let that dry and went over them with more metal cement to clear coat the paint and when this all dries you get a hard practically indestructible set of gumballs that look great and most important of all look original to the car. Next I added Polizei print to the hood in Black and on the roof I created the unit number P928 in Black then I removed the Black windows so I could add seats and a interior, I left it with out windows as I had no Clear material to make Clear ones.  I then secured the body to the chassis with a small eyeglasses screw and it held together but is still a little loose. The seats and dash and interior are form a large plastic model kit and cut and sanded to size. Inspired by a Siku Notarzt Porsche 928.
