Herpa Miniature Model, Multi-Coloured

The triumph of the modern car as the world's most important means of transport began with Carl Benz's car. Henry Ford took the decisive step for the rise of the automobile, his Model T, and not the Ford Mustang as it had been assumed, entered mass production from the assembly line and became accessible to a large population. This new mobility and independence radically changed and simplified humanity's daily life from then on. A truck is usually used with a trailer. This combination is called road train. If the tractor is short and the trailer is mounted on it, the combination is called a semi-trailer. The largest truck manufacturers today are MAN, Daimler Mercedes, Dongfeng, Volvo, VW, Scania, Paccar. 1980 Herpa presents for the first time at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 1:87 scale truck models. Already a year later, all cabs of model trucks are tiltable and equipped with a replica engine, especially for technology lovers. Due to the excellent detail and the true appearance of scale, Herpa truck models recorded high demand and quickly became sought after collectibles. All Herpa model cars and trucks are marketed with snap frame (no glued joints), a new type of model kit. Today, the Herpa cars and trucks are also very popular as promotional gifts. The MiniKits are original Herpa models in kits for fans and collectors of model railways. Thanks to the Herpa snap-on construction method, the Minikits can be assembled in just a few steps without glue (assembly instructions are included). In this way, the plastic can be equipped with wagons cheaply or a train for the transport of cars can be loaded with wagons cheaply. In addition, airbrushers can paint the bodywork in the colour they like before assembly. Safety Warning This is a miniature model for enthusiasts and worshippers. Please handle with care.
