NEW RELEASES December 2011

Two new 1:87 classics represent an important step towards the attainment of milestones in WIKING’s history: the ’64 Ford Mustang and the Glas 1700 GT cabriolet will fulfil the long-cherished desires of collectors just in time for Christmas! These are joined by the Borgward B611 with its intricately detailed interior in the form of a prison van and the Opel Kapitän as a police patrol car. Other newcomers to the range include the TES Unimog U1700 along with the VW Caddy serving the Berlin Fire Service as well as the MB L 408 in the service of the Zippert haulage company and the LP 2223 heavy freight truck of
crane specialist Rosenkranz. In 1:32,
the Fliegl ASW288 dumper truck demonstrates real precision quality and simulates the process of unloading in exactly the same way as the original vehicle. Ballast weights for the Claas Xerion also produced in 1:32 mark another addition to the die-cast range. And to mark the occasion of the 75th anniversary of WIKING-Modellbau, there is the 192-page book entitled“WIKING worlds – Model vehicles created with passion for collectors”. Numerous stories, interviews and more than 350 photographs provideepreviously
unseen insights into the company’s activities as well as the lives of the model-makers and collectors.
