I saw this line of models from Tins' Toys offered recently, with several models from different law enforcement agencies from across the country and thought they were pretty cool. I couldn't afford the whole lot (and display space is down to precious little), so I got the one that meant the most to me...West Covina. I spent a year in my childhood living not too far from West Covina. I didn't realize until prepping for this that the model is a pullback...well hidden!

I like it too. I have a selection of these vans out in the garage. I'll need to check if I have the West Covina version. |

I like this little Freightliner Van from Tins Toys. I have most of the emergency variations of the van. Most list it at 1/87th scale - the pull back feature is nice. They are one of the few to have done a small scale Canadian police vehicle.![]() ![]()

Hmm...another one that I need to look into getting. Interestingly enough, the vehicle that demonstrates the 'pull-back' action looks to be a Hong Kong Citybus double-decker bus. It does explain a lot, as the company is based in Hong Kong, and they have a large line of Hong Kong buses as well (1/64 and >1/100) |
