Dear Sirs and Madams,
with the News III 2026 brochure, we are once again presenting a selection of miniature models crafted with attention to detail that are sure to delight collectors. Let us introduce some of the new products:
Wings
Following overwhelming feedback, Lufthansa has decided to create an “anniversary fleet” in the colors of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner already presented by Herpa. No fewer than six aircraft will be given the centenary look. As part of News II, we are now presenting the Airbus A350 in three versions sporting the special anniversary livery.
American Airlines is also celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026. Who could have imagined in 1926 that the first mail flight from St. Louis to Chicago by Charles Lindbergh, who was still relatively unknown at the time, would give rise to what is now the world's largest airline? As an official licensee, we are offering today's flagship, the Boeing 777, in a retro look, in the 1:500 and 1:200 scales.
Swiss is celebrating the arrival of its first Airbus A350 with a lovingly detailed special livery. The many individual motifs tell stories from all over the country, with themes ranging from nature, culture, and sports to Switzerland's diverse history. As part of News II, this elaborate special livery is now available in the 1:200 scale.
Cars & Trucks
In the News III brochure, we showcase new designs that are currently in development, i.e. where construction is nearing completion or we have already started toolmaking.
The MAN TGL GW-San (Bund) with stylised tail lift will be completed in the third quarter. In the last quarter of 2026, the Wolga M24 estate car and the two Mercedes-Benz 123 saloon and estate models will be released, as well as the BG 180 motor grader from HBM, a completely new construction machine that completes the fleet of road construction machines.
Shortly before Christmas, we plan to deliver the VW Transporter as a station wagon and panel van in their first colors. Meanwhile, the almost identical Ford Tourneo Custom and Ford Transit Custom will follow in early 2027, together with the Volvo FMX and the new Liebherr L566 wheel loader.
Following the Volvo FH Aero Globetrotter XL with an internal combustion engine, the platform is to become available as an electric version, set to appear at the end of the year featuring a high roof panel with attached sun visor in place. Finally, we will also offer the Volvo F88 and F89 in various versions in our new products range.
The highly successful HERPA PREMIUM series is launching two very elaborate stencil-painted and finely detailed printed models from Belgium: Ronny Ceusters and Peter Wouters Transport.
In the passenger car sector, we are reviving two Ferraris, the Testarossa in white, as seen on MIAMI VICE, and the 512 in black, each with opening bonnets.
Meanwhile, N-gauge modellers can enjoy the reissue of most of our passenger car models that have been unavailable for a long time.
In the military sector, there is a small new design in the form of the 8x8 Iveco Trakker as a swap body.
Last but not least, MicroCity is supplying four new models: the Audi RS7, the Honda Civic FD2, the Nissan Skyline GTR32, and the Mazda 787B, including the 1991 Le Mans winner.
