This model is the Moskvitch 400/420 Sedan in dark blue Police livery produced for an DeAgostini part-works. The model was manufactured in China.
The model has no opening parts. The headlights are clear plastic in a chrome surround while the rear light is painted red on a black stalk. The grille is done in black and chrome, the front and rear bumpers are done in chrome, as is the rear petrol cap and filler spout. At the top of the grille in red is a tiny manufacturer's symbol. The number plates are white on black plastic with Russian characters. Both sides carry a red stripe with white Cyrillic lettering. Detailing of the hood, doors, windows and trunk has been etched into the main body. On the roof is a large silver speaker. Glazing is clear plastic but doesn't appear in the main front door windows. Two separate chrome windscreen wipers are attached to the hood.
The interior of the vehicle is black with a black dashboard and left hand side steering wheel. A small rear-view mirror is suspended from the top of the front windscreen.
All wheels have a red plastic hub, chrome hub cap and separate black tyres.
The baseplate is black plastic. It has DeAgostini in the top centre front on one line followed by some Russian characters on the second line and "Made in China" with more Russian characters on two lines to the lower centre front and "1/43" just above the drive shaft. The base carries detailing to represent the gearbox, drive shaft, differential, exhaust system, petrol tank, and front mud flaps. It is secured by two small self tapping screws.
