Wiking Magazine 2024

Details

With its 2024 release, the WIKING Magazine is becoming more voluminous than ever! Better yet, its character as a chronicle has been strengthened as well. Now paired with the WIKING catalogue, the hot-off-the-presses WIKING magazine offers a comprehensive printed compilation in the February delivery sent to the retail trade and embodies an exhaustive compendium of all annual brand activities taking place in the great world of small models.

Only the annual catalogue will also remain available as a separate e-paper download. As you can see, the 76th year of WIKING’s model vehicles will set in motion quite a few things - and fans of the brand can look forward to model maker activities that will breathe new vibrancy into their beloved models!No wonder then that the 2024 WIKING Magazine is presented with a fresh new design – Germany’s H0 model car brand with the longest tradition has a lot to report again.

After all, this release will celebrate 75 years of model vehicles, as WIKING started their journey into a new area in 1948, the year of Germany's currency reform. At the time, no one could have predicted whether the business idea was to be a model-making dream come true or an economic flop – after all, these were the years of a new dawn and restoration. In any case, courage and a healthy portion of trust in God played a key role in Fritz Peltzer's endeavour to launch his own selection of model vehicles in 1948.

In this spirit, the 75th anniversary was commemorated with the unveiling of several production models: the sideloader, which was originally conceived as a mere archetypal model by master model maker Alfred Kedzierski, and new tarps for both the Hanomag Kurier and the VW T2. The WIKING magazine 2024 tells the story the Vidal tipper truck combination with the Büssing 8000 and of its forerunners. It is also presenting a look back on the premium WIKING collectors’ convention, which was held in the Franconian town of Obertrubach.

The Model Chronology is portraying a real collector's favourite: The Ackermann furniture box garnered a decades-long reputation as it managed to embody the one-of-a-kind nature of WIKING models right from the beginning of the era of glazed models.
