Herpa Model Kit MiniKit Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W126), 2 Pieces, Miniature at 1:87 Scale, Collector's Item, Model kit, Plastic, Color: Sapphire Blue & Wine red

The triumph of the modern automobile as the world's most important means of transport began with Carl Benz's car. The decisive step in the rise of the automobile was taken by Henry Ford: his Model T, and not the Ford Mustang as had been assumed, now went into mass production off the assembly line and became affordable for a broad population. This new mobility and independence radically changed and simplified the everyday life of mankind from then on. A truck is usually operated with a trailer. This combination is called a road train. If the tractor is short and the trailer is mounted on it, the combination is called a semitrailer. The biggest truck manufacturers today are MAN, Daimler Mercedes, Dongfeng, Volvo, VW, Scania, Paccar. 1980 Herpa shows model trucks on a scale of 1:87 for the first time at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Already one year later, all cabs of the miniature truck models are tiltable and equipped with an engine replica, especially for technology lovers. Due to the excellent details and the true-to-scale appearance, Herpa truck models experienced strong demand and quickly became sought-after collector's items. All Herpa model cars and model trucks are marketed in snap-on construction (without glued joints), a new type of model kit. Today, Herpa model cars and truck models are also highly appreciated as promotional gifts. MiniKits are original Herpa models as kits for model railway enthusiasts and collectors. Due to the Herpa snap-on construction method, MiniKits can be assembled in a few steps without glue (assembly instructions are included). This way, the model layout can be inexpensively equipped with cars or a car transport train can be loaded with cars. And airbrushers can paint the body in the colour of their choice before assembly.
