Model: HO gauge. Add-on/retrofit sets are in demand and popular. The sets for mirrors are often used to replace lost attachments. This mirror set includes five black shooting parts each for Mercedes-Benz Actros 18 and MAN TGX GX/GM mirror cameras and their front and ramp mirrors, as well as the mirror cameras for DAF XG+/XG.
Wilhelm Hergenröther founded the company in Nuremberg in 1949. The company name is composed of the name Hergenröther Patent. Initially, the company produced model railway accessories. In 1961, Riwa-Plastik, a plastic parts manufacturer for the photo and phono industry, was founded.
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.
