Aaah, great, many thanks!  santé!Old front, but obviously the new bumpers, so it's a 1972-model (8/71-7/72) in "sumatragreen". Yes, the first bumpers had shorter edges and the green colour is too bright for the 1971 "tiefseegrün" : (deep)"sea green" |

My pleasure Ingo... I do like very much this rare VW too .gif ":)") ![[Image: vwk70ref4kwikingul8.2029.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is397/vwk70ref4kwikingul8.2029.jpg) I miss my 1/43 scale Heller Kit I built in the 1980's (sold it) ..it was a very good scale model |

Yes, the Heller was quite exactly made. The CURSOR was the best K 70-scale model, Minialuxe much worse. Such a 1:87 WIKING as on the pic I have in red - still left from my childhood, a greenmetallic Majorette with the Streckeman-camping-trailer, too. -- Last edit: 2008-11-17 22:23:35 |

Did Märklin or Gamma made this model ? ... I don't remember any of these? The collectible K70 are not so many  |

Yes, Märklin had made a K 70-model in four colours, sold in a plastic- or a blister-box. Gama never made one, but I know a K 70-freak, who swears by his life and the lifes of his family, that once he had seen a Gama-K 70 on a collector's market. He didn't buy it, because the price was too high in his opinion. If it was a Gama indeed, he should better have bought it. I've heard rumours, that they made prototypes in the 70ies, but never have launched it. For a never built toy-model-prototype even I, as a non toy-collector, had thought about to spend 200 or 300 Euros for that. |

@sixcyl: I just have checked it. There were toy-K 70 from that companies: - Märklin 1:43 - CURSOR 1:40 (originally planned as WIKING 1:40), one version plated with gold - WIKING 1:87 (in different colours again in production) - Majorette 1:60 - Schuco 1:66 - REI 1:66 (produced in Brazil with the old Schuco-tools after its bankrupcy) - Minialuxe 1:43 - Polistil 1:66 (or so) - Heller-kit 1:43 New on the market: - Norev P.S. If we K 70-freaks want, it would be possible to relaunch again the CURSOR. The tools are still existing. The guys of the VW Bus-Club (T2a and T2b) let produce again the T2a with the old tools in different versions. They are making money for their club with it. -- Last edit: 2008-11-18 18:03:50 |
