TROL
Found the following pictures on Ebay a while ago,
who knows more about the manufacturer of these kits ?
Where were they made ? Were there more models ?
And are they 1/87 as they were advertized ?
December 2008
- Heinz-Hartmut Graf sent us the following additional
information, although not about this specific series of models it is certainly a
welcome addition:
'This is a Brazilian manufacturer. Two different series are known:
At first there have been some simple plastic cars (in Germany called "Groschenautos", we may say penny models). Three different versions of a
1959 US-Ford are known: Sedan, Station Wagon, Pickup. The bodies are crude and an interior is missing.
The following models have been much better: 1960 Plymouth Valiant, Pontiac Tempest and Ford Falcon. As far as I know these models have been
produced in the US and were later made by TROL in Brazil.'
Which leads us to a new
question... who know more about these two series of models ?
