Peco O Gauge LK-765 Police Telephone Box
A detailed model of the blue Police telephone box, a feature of several British cities before the use of portable radio communications sets by the police forces. Popularly identified as the Tardis...
Modelled at 1:43 scale these telephone boxes will also sit well with a display of 1:43 scale cars.
Based on a design of call box introduced from the 1920s the blue boxes contained a telephone for use by the public in an emergency and for patrolling police officers to report in to their stations and obtain any updated information they should be acting on. They could also act as miniature police stations, with facilities inside for compiling reports, taking lunch breaks and even temporarily holding suspects until assistance arrived!
The fact that it also resembles a certain time-traveller's means of transportation is purely coincidental!
This is a nice and simple kit to assemble, moulded in appropriately-coloured dark blue and supplied with waterslide decals to complete the details.
