About Herpa
Herpa is a legendary German model manufacturer with roots stretching back to 1949 when inventor Wilhelm Hergenröther founded the company in Nuremberg. The distinctive name combines his surname with his passion for patents: Hergenröther + patents = Herpa. Originally producing model railway accessories, the company would evolve into one of the world's most respected makers of precision scale models. The modern Herpa era began when Fritz Wagener GmbH took over the brand in 1965. By 1978, the company presented its first 1:87 scale model cars at the prestigious International Toy Fair in Nuremberg. Three years later, Herpa revolutionised truck modelling with cabins that tip forward to reveal exactly reproduced engines - a detail level that set new industry standards. Herpa Wings, the company's aircraft division, emerged from 1987 prototypes of Boeing 747-200s in 1:500 scale, with the brand formally established in 1992. Today, Herpa Wings produces some of the most detailed and accurate die-cast aircraft models available, prized by aviation enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. The company also maintains the Herpa Miniature Museum at their Dietenhofen headquarters. Compare Herpa prices across UK retailers on Grocefully.
