The modelcars of the Heckflosse alone could fill several show-cases. The diversity in scale, quality and technical possibilities are endless. The manufacturers who produced the Heckflosse at the same time as the original used mostly tin for there modelcars but some were beginning to realize that plastic was easier to mold into modelcars. Usually the car was friction powered or battery powered which meant you either had to put the batteries in the car itself or the car had a separate battery box connected with the car by a cable. That meant that you could steer the car by means of a steering wheel on the box. Because the Heckflosse was favored by taxi drivers in real life, it is no wonder that many manufacturers produced the Heckflosse as a taxi, of course in the colours that were custom in the country of manufacturer. Many manufacturers also produced the Heckflosse as a police car. These cars were usually equipped with a light on top of the car, which flashed just like the real thing. Because most of these modelcars were produced for the German market, the police cars are usually green/white coloured (the colours used by the German police). |
