Tin Plate Type 34



Went to the celebration of 50 years of the launch of the type 14 Karmann Ghia convertible in Georgsmarienhütte, Germany over the weekend and acquired a nice Shimazakil tin plate Type 34 (missing its plastic siren) - its a long time since I bothered to buy any models but thought I would treat myself as this version with the Dutch Rijkspolitie emblems is quite rare.
Photos of the type 34s at the event to follow shortly.

Nice blog, had to laugh out when seeing description of the white scale modell--> 'Rukspolitie' should be 'Rijkspolitie'

Rijk = kingdom

Ruk is from the verb rukken --> simular to jerking off...that's the laugh ;)

Greetings Jeroen
