Model enthusiasts have been waiting for this special vehicle for a very long time: now, for the first time, WIKING has created a model of the Metz B32 fire truck as a fully functioning precision model in 1:87. WIKING’s significant investment in the new moulds required has definitely paid off which is clear to see from the intricate detailing on the body, not least the telescopic turntable and rescue cage. The new models on offer include a limited edition contemporary themed set of DKW vehicles that looks back at the everyday suitability of the Universal and the Junior as speedy urban delivery vehicles. Car enthusiasts will be delighted with the new bang up-to-date models which will be available in specialist shops in October. These include the Beetle based on the original model which has just gone into series production at VW along with the new VW Passat as a police vehicle in the silver and blue livery which has since become mandatory. The Ford Escort Mark I as a proven youngtimer will appeal to fans of vehicles from the 1970s. The first Escort series in automotive history was given the name “dogbone” on account of the shape of the radiator grille. Alongside this is the classic VW T2 flatbed truck which makes an appearance for the first time with a tarpaulin created using new moulds. The Hanomag truck with dumper trailer, the VW Beetle as a patrol car and the American International Harvester flatbed truck complete the wide variety of multi-faceted new vehicles on offer.
