In addition to the Mercedes-Benz Strich-Acht and a fire department Unimog U 406, there are three VW Bulli versions. A red and beige T1 bus comes with prototypical rims and other details. Schuco presents the third generation of the van, which was produced from 1979 to 1992, as a blue and white bus and as a brown Joker camping bus with a sleeping roof.
Faithfulness to the original down to the smallest detail
They are joined by the legendary Porsche 356 as a Carrera Coupé and the Land Rover Defender 90, which has also become an automotive icon. They, too, are distinguished by fine details such as model lettering, chrome highlights or mud flaps.
While miniatures in the popular and even smaller HO scale of model railroading are now almost exclusively in the higher franc range, Schuco's 1:64 edition offers car fans an inexpensive(r) alternative. All the new models cost twelve francs each.
Addresses already Swiss dealers who carry Schuco, you can find on the Internet.
