Model: HO Gauge. The new Scania Crewcab now appears in the new design of Herpa's neutral fire brigade fleet. In response to popular requests, we have thought about a more modern design, which we are using here for the first time. 28 prints are necessary to create the red basic model in this color scheme. Finished model made of plastic, painted and printed.
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.
