From the time before 1945 until today, the Herpa military series embodies the history of military vehicles and aircraft. It contains collectors’ topics such as the Wehrmacht of WW2, the Soviet Army, the National People’s Army (NVA) of East Germany and the US Armed Forces. The Collection also includes current vehicles of the modern Federal Armed Forces of Germany such as the Boxer in its transport and ambulance variants. All models are delivered already assembled – partially decorated or without decoration. Their high level of details, proportionality and precision are sure to impress.
In 1965, Herpa was taken over by this company. Both brand names continue to be used. The first 1/87th scale car model was presented at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Two years later, the first truck model in the same scale followed. Over the years, the magazine "MASS:STAB" is published. Since then, six copies have been published annually.
