Model Details

WIKING means far more than precision models from a traditional hand. WIKING models are now synonymous with miniature themes, a passion for collecting, and a truly unique brand history. This is precisely what the book "Automodel Fascination WIKING" explores. Its 192 pages are all about purist miniatures and passionate collecting. Since the first range of transport models in 1948, the book describes every model decade, depicting development steps and highlights. It thus seamlessly follows on from the successful titles "The Model Myth WIKING" and "WIKING – Small Cars, Big Love" from the same knowledgeable author, completing the brand trilogy under the red cover. Furthermore, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the greatest collecting passions of WIKING enthusiasts. Readers learn everything they need to know. The book covers the development of the wire-axle model, the chronology of VW Bulli history and the Magirus round-cab truck, as well as exciting collecting themes such as fire departments, postal services, and agriculture. Over 1,700 miniatures from six decades are presented in brilliant photography and illustrate the multifaceted nature of each theme cycle. Additional archive documents are also included. Thanks to its unique model tradition, WIKING can rightfully claim to have achieved and maintained a legendary uniqueness in car model making. This book provides background information on WIKING models from over six decades – an indispensable standard work for all collectors.
