WARNING - HERMES RELATED GRUMP AHEAD!
Ordered something off the internet earlier this week, yesterday I get a notification saying 'Your parcel is now with your local Hermes courier for delivery'
Well, despite my initial concerns, Hermes did indeed deliver my parcel today, as they promised........

.....guess where they left it........

No? Well here is where they left it -

Brilliant!

I mean abso-fucking-lutely brilliant!

Who the fuck is that? Now I have to use my intimate* knowledge of the legs of all the residents of all the households in my street to identlfy what house has my fucking parcel!
(and no, there wasnt even a card left giving any clues as to who has / where my parcel is!)

Its not too difficult to do - I used to convert these exact same models (when they were quite readily available for not much money) to 'code 3' british police car models using the following technique -
A cotton bud dipped in non acetone nail varnish remover gently rubbed over the tampo printed POLIZEI livery will remove it (be carefull not to rub to much as it can also take the paint layer off any raised areas on the model). Be aware that the front grille is tampo printed, so try not to remove that by mistake!
The plastic lightbar on the roof can be removed easily enough (you can unscrew the base & take the interior moulding out & scrape the glue away from inside the roof, then push the lightbar out from the inside, or gently leavering it off might work) - there will be 2 holes left in the roof after the lightbar is removed - these can be filled & painted easily enough.

Cararama / Hongwell made an E39 saloon in various guises (foreign Police cars mainly) but also in civilian form as well (this ones on Ebay at the moment for £14 inc. postage).....

Schuco & Schabak also made the E39 in saloon & estate variants but these are rarer (i.e more expensive)
