Plastic!

[Viewfield]

Not into plastic, never have been but these turned up in box. I know there're not british and not diecast, but thought perhaps they would interest someone

Its actually surprising just how many of these old plastic things survive here in Denmark, models of trucks many of us cant remember seeing in 1:1 . They dont make any serious money unfortunately for those who wish to sell them on and one local collector I know has a moving box full of mostly Czech mostly plastic cars and trucks of all sizes he wishes he hadnt bought.....

Is the German one on top a Tatra also? Cool trucks!

I bought a few of these when I was in Germany in 1992/3. The first item shown is a model of an East German IFA, a lorry which was still common on East German roads then. Not worth much now, but they weren't expensive at the time either. They make a nice souvenir of my time in Germany, and all fit into one small box for easy storage.

I still have a soft spot for those East Bloc vehicles, which presumably is shared by others judging by the number of 1/43 part-work models available now.

Hi all,
Really do like these, I had a few Wiking plastic trucks years ago, and always thought they were wonderful. I worked in the former East Berlin just after the wall came down, and remember seeing some lovely (Chinese?) tinplate lorries and buses in the toy shops I wish I had bought a few now.
