[PROP] 1981 Koln Sabel Saloon

Description
"Koln? More like Korn! Boom na da noom na nanema!" -Rölf

Original description:

Give all the possible time and resources to Germany’s premier car manufacturer in its prime and ask them to make the best - not the fastest, nor the most luxurious or elegant, but the best - possible car they can, and this is what happens. Outside, it blends into the background or steals the scene with subtle, bespoke styling. Inside, it treats driver and passenger alike to simple, honest comfort. It steers with delicate ease and handles surefootedly at speed. With attentive maintenance, an old Sabel is a perfect partner for a mutually reciprocal relationship. The diesel versions can do all this running on used frying oil. A perfect car for the discerning enthusiasts of yesteryear, and today’s desperate age of charcoal air and sinking cities.


Welcome to the second part of the German Cold War Project!

This time we have a fictional car based on the classic Mercedes Sedans, the Koln Sabel Saloon!
With a total of 15 custom skins plus the original beige and a new classic siren model.

it is very much based on that, allthough the russian livery is based on a real one it is a far more modern than the other skins

Of course, I understand that the car is fictional, although it looks like a Mercedes W123 "Suitcase" (Suitcase is the nickname of Mercedes cars produced by the new Russians in the 90s), but... the version about the Russian police looks somehow pretentious, even too much. Because in the 90s, the police really didn't have such Mercedes cars. Well, Volvo, Audi-80, they haven't gone anywhere else, because in the 90s these cars were really used by the police. Then it would be more logical to make a Mercedes in yellow police coloring, because it would be much closer to reality...
In any case, these are just my words on the Internet, nothing more.

proto german army until the Bundeswehr was founded, later formed into the federal police and since like 2011 or so called "Bundespolizei".
They started out with WW2 equipment until the domestic production of new equipment got started, allthough some stuff, especially parade gear, stayed for quite a while.
Pretty interesting sector tbh.

I heard a lot of things about the BGS, they were essentially the West German equivalent of the Border Patrol, they also wore the WW2 era German Steel Helmet.

What model did you use for the West German police on the left side of the sixth picture?

I tried it once a while ago but it was an absolute desaster
suspension was broken and as soon as I tried to add lights the entire thing broke

There is a guide I've seen for simphys but it's still kinda tiring to do it
