A historic model with a special background

The history of the EMW 340 begins in 1949 with production at the Eisenach Motor Plant. Initially manufactured under the name BMW 340, the model was renamed EMW 340 on July 1, 1952, following a patent dispute with the West German BMW plant in Munich. Technically, the vehicle is based on the BMW 326, a successful pre-war model. Production of the EMW 340 continued until 1955—including as a service vehicle for government agencies such as the People’s Police.

Police vehicle with an authentic appearance

The People’s Police version is immediately recognizable not only by its typical green-and-white paint scheme but also by the realistic rendering of details such as body lines, window frames, and lighting elements. Such vehicles were used for patrol duty, checkpoints, and the transport of people or materials, and they shaped the streetscape of the early GDR.

Detailed 1:120-scale model

Busch has produced this model in TT scale with the utmost precision. The 1:120 scale allows for seamless integration into TT layouts, while the design has been precisely tailored to the original. The vehicle is beautifully crafted and impresses with its unmistakable appearance as a People’s Police service vehicle from the 1950s.
