Small scale Cavaliers - Part 4: Herpa

Post by Lowrider Dave »

Herpa

With a name like Herpa Miniaturmodelle GmbH its obvious that this company is German. Founded in 1949, the company is located in Dietenhofen and produces car, truck and airplane miniatures in a variety of scales - the most popular being the model railway friendly 1/87. Covering a wide range of modern and historical subjects, the current available collection counts more than 1,500 models produced in both plastic and metal. They even have a product museum open to the public at their headquarters.

Naturally, their models are badged as the (pre-facelift) Opel Vectra in both saloon and hatchback variants. All (apart from one) are now currently discontinued and scarce.

Model list:

362542 Opel Vectra ‘Police K9 Unit’ - this is the only available model at the moment.
