Dear Herpa-Fan,

Keeping pace with the International Motor Show IAA in Frankfurt, Herpa also starts autumn with a series of new types. Besides the Audi A4 as Avant and sedan, as well as the Audi R8 in the V10 Plus version, the new VW Touareg in the 1/43 scale is also premiered in the Herpa range. Furthermore, one of the truck highlights makes a dazzling appearance in November - a promotional vehicle from Volvo Austria delivered entirely in chrome. Besides modern new types there a also new classics - with the Büssing 8000 we release a new box trailer for the model railway era III, and with the brand-new forwarding building in the 1/87 scale, model railway fans and model builders are able to create a central loading area in their show cases or on dioramas.

Meanwhile, Wings product management sets entirely new standards with this new releases brochure. The greatest precision and a level of detail unseen before make the first two fighter jets in the 1/72 scale very special collectors items. As for accessories, these new releases conclude the Amsterdam Airport series. With the passage from pier G to pier H we release the last two building parts completing the airport ensemble. Besides appealing liveries like the Haribo Tropifrutti plane of Tuifly and a new edition of the Air Force One bestseller for your shop, Herpa presents a new type in the Lockheed U2S and a first container loader in the 1/200 scale - suitable for loading and unloading the Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 "Bayern München", on board which the famous football club recently completed its Chinese tour.
