Mercedes 250 Police and Ford Capri MK I Police. Renovation of Siku V 309 and V 310 models.

In this video I present two Siku models from 1975. Both show police cars used in Germany. The Siku company created its models on a scale of 1: 60. The cars were very nicely made. They had so-called fast wheels, and the windows were made of fluorescent yellow-green plastic. Because they are very thin, they cracked over time and I had to make new copies of them. When renovating the Ford Capri model, I painted it differently than the factory one. Using the green decal, I created the same painting pattern as on the Mercedes originally sold. I equipped both models with boxes that I copied from computer scans of the original packaging. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity in the video.

Kolejny "Twix" na kanale 👍 Dwa razy więcej przyjemności 👍 Odcinek Policyjny więc dziś trzeba uważać na drodze 👍

[@shanethompson2915]

Just fantastic, I prefer the yellow tinted glass to the green. What a professional job well done.

[@PirataDesign]

Complimenti per questo ennesimo restauro-capolavoro. 2 modelli che ricordano le serie TV anni 70. Su questo canale sempre tanta qualità!

[@jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

I love these 70s German police cars, great job with the restoration yet again.

[@ananndavinci]

I use nail paint for the tail lights...it gives impression of translucent lenses. Before I put the nail paint, I give it a base of chrome paint. Apart from the tail lights... Rest is all magic of the wizard as usual. 😎 🙏 Live Long N Prosper

[@rjung_ch]

You did it again. The Capri was a very nice car in the 70s. The old Mercedes are also some of my favorite cars. Thanks for the great duo, Paul! 👍💪✌

[@randytaylor1258]

Beautiful work, Paul. It's so relaxing watching you disassemble then reassemble the finished pieces.

[@markrigg7038]

Great job on both, the Capri is my favourite, nice work Paul 👍👍

[@ModellautosDresden]

Klasse Restaurierung! Der Capri sieht in der weiss - grünen Version sogar besser aus! Mich begeistert immer das herstellen neuer Scheiben sehr. Top Arbeit!

[@mumu1701]

The models are sensational. I have some Siku that are more recent and in excellent condition that I bought in 2014. I really like the brand, especially for the utility vehicles.

[@Willshit71]

Awesome video and amazing restoration work Paul🎉 thumbs up!!

[@JanKowalski-yt2ho]

To były najlepszej jakości resorowce. Tylko miały wkurzający system otwieranych drzwi. Z czasem luzowały się i otwierały się same. Byłem bardzo rozczarowany, że samochdziki były idealne, a ta jedna rzecz niedopracowana

Każdy, kto mnie zna, wie, że lubię radiowozy 😏 Świetna robota Paweł, jestem zachwycony. 🤩 Zastanawiałam się jak pomalowane są zielone elementy modeli 🤔❓ Kalkomanie z napisem 😄 Świetne 👍🏼 A nowo wyprodukowane części szklane znów są pomalowane na „oryginalny” żółty kolor… (powiedziałbym tak, a nowe „felgi” to moja osobista atrakcja 🤩) Dobra robota, zdecydowanie dwa kciuki w górę 👍🏼 👍🏼 Dziękuję za udostępnienie i tak trzymaj przyjacielu 😉 Życzę miłego weekendu Tobie i Twojej rodzinie, bądźcie zdrowi i zdrowi. Pozdrowienia z deszczowego Morza Północnego 🌧️ ☔ 🙄 👍🏼🇵🇱😎🍻🤠🇩🇪👍🏼 Anyone who knows me knows that I like copcars 😏 Great job Paul, I'm thrilled. 🤩 I was wondering how the green elements of the models are painted 🤔❓ Decals with lettering 😄 Awesome 👍🏼 And the newly manufactured glass parts are colored “original” yellow again... (I would say that and the new "rims" are my personal highlight 🤩) Good onya, definitely both thumbs up for it 👍🏼 👍🏼 Thanks a lot for sharing and keep it up, mate 😉 Have a nice weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Greetings from the rainy North Sea shore 🌧️ ☔ 🙄 👍🏼🇵🇱😎🍻🤠🇩🇪👍🏼 Wer mich kennt weiß, ich mag Polizeiwagen 😏 Tolle Arbeit, Paul, ich bin begeistert. 🤩 Ich habe mich gefragt, wie die grünen Elemente der Modelle lackiert werden 🤔❓ Decals mit Schriftzug 😄 Genial 👍🏼 Und die, neugefertigten, Glasteile wieder "original" gelb eingefärbt... (Würde sagen, das und die neuen "Felgen" sind mein persönliches Highlight 🤩) Gut gemacht, ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼 Vielen Dank fürs teilen und mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉 Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter.

[@steppoify]

What a pleasant change from all the true basket-case restorations!! I'm still not on Team SIKU yet, but I enjoyed your attention to detail for these two Police Cars. A very interesting outcome as the two diecasts revolved from "Ugly Ducklings" to "SWANS!" Kudos, Maestro! ❤❤ Stephen

[@PaulRestorer]

hank you very much Stephen

[@chrissmith1387]

Lovely job, Paul. Real nice transformation 👍🏻👍🏻

[@frasermartin6728]

Nice idea to pair-match these two, though both are too small for my collection - and my fingers! Neat Codes3! Flashy cop car with OZ wheels! Clever idea for the antennae!

Beautiful job paul top class resto

[@volkergutmann2372]

Tolle Arbeit. LS ist das Kennzeichen von Lüdenscheid (von 1974-1979), die Zahl die Autonummer. Gedacht war die Dachkennung um die Fahrzeuge auch aus der Luft zu identifizieren. Der Capri hatte also das Kennzeichen LS 3462 und der Mercedes LS 3461. Seit 1979 hat Lüdenscheid MK für Märkischer Kreis.

[@PolizeiPaul]

I like your idea vs just the plain white or vanilla color Capri Polizei..Although most was unmarked except for POLIZEI on the hood or roof in real life, I think they'd have looked better if marked in the traditional green/white like that Mercedes is, Maybe they kept them so plain as a stealth 🤔?

[@lotharrenz4621]

Tatsächlich waren die Modelle inspiriert durch drei Capri GT für die Autobahnpolizei irgendwo im Kölner Raum, und die waren immer komplett weiß. Neulich hat jemand einen solchen Capri hergerichtet, leider kein Original, da die wohl schon lange verschrottet waren.

Natürlich! Du schaffst es auch noch, die Bedruckung der Reifen nachzubilden! Warum kannst du nicht in meiner Nachbarschaft wohnen? Die Arbeit würde dir nie ausgehen. Nun, ich werde weiterhin mir die alten Sikus kaufen und mich an deinen Videos erfreuen!

[@sergiogeras2438]

Zwei Polizei 😊 nice, very nice, Master P 😊

[@PaulRestorer]

Vielen Dank Sergio

[@whistlingdiesel]

Nice result, but the taillights are looking a bit 'free style'. I suggest to make adhesives in red and orange and cut them to the right size for each model.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@LotharSuhr]

Zu 'meiner Zeit' hatte ich die Heckflosse von Mercedes, den sogenannten Peterwagen, ganz in Dunkelgrün, und die weisse Porsche 911 Autobahnpolizei. 🚓

Hallo. Immer wieder tolle Arbeit die Sie leisten. Eine kleine Frage hätte ich: Wo bekommt man diese Aufkleber für die Fahrzeuge bzw. machen sie die selber und wenn ja, wie macht man das ? Danke Ihnen für dieses tolle Video. Wünsche ein schönes wochenende. Gruss Markus

I would have put the numbers on the roof around the same way as the letters on the hood/ bonnet

4:47 unfortunately, there's a typo on the decals, it should say REPARATUR, not REPERATUR

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@michaelparylak5649]

Is that a Rolls-Royce as a service vehicle. I wonder if Paris is spending the taxpayers money wisely 🧐 just asking 😁 the front end of one of them looks similar to a Rolls-Royce to me.

[@alessandrodaltoso]

😁👍👍👍✌️👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻🇮🇹

[@Vassilika1]

Why is there any green on the Autobahn Streifenwagen (the Ford) after the restoration? It didn't have it before, and there's none on the box picture either.

[@PaulRestorer]

Ich habe in der Beschreibung geschrieben, dass ich Capri-Wasser in Custom-Lackierung anfertige und es deshalb grün neu gestrichen wurde

[@lampa6]

Panie Paul jak zrobił pan taką kalkomanie?🤔
