Dear Herpa-Fan,

from June 11, 24 national teams will be fighting for the coveted title of European soccer champion. For this occasion, Herpa is producing a limited edition of Mini Cooper models whose body colors match the teams’ jersey colors, and which are printed with the national flags of the participants on the roofs of the models.

Just in time for the summer season, Herpa is coming up with the Volkswagen Crafter Grand California 600 as a new type, which is equipped with a lateral awning. In the segment of large-scale models in the 1/50 scale, WSI produces the vehicle of TV German celebrity Trucker Babe Christina Scheib exclusively for Herpa. Conrad adds a Mercedes-Benz Arocs concrete mixer in the design of the Geiger Group to Herpa's July/August Collection.

The two models of the Boeing 757s of the legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden presented for May/June have also been big sellers. The Boeing 747-400 will now follow as the model of their third jet, with which the group went on the “Book of Souls Tour” from 2016 to 2017.

As has become common with airlines with a long history, TAP Air Portugal also decorated an Airbus A321neo with a retro livery from the 1960s, thus providing a particularly attractive original for a model. The series of SnapFit models will be supplemented by another new type, the Airbus A330-700, better known as BelugaXL, in the 1/200 scale.

Sincerely,
Your Herpa team
