Revell 1/24 Trabant 601S "Fall of the Berlin Wall 30th Anniversary" Gift Set

Those who were old enough on November 9, 1989 could hardly believe what was going on on that memorable day. The Berlin Wall, which had separated Germany for more than 28 years, fell almost without notice. And what was one of the first to pass the border so surprisingly open without being disturbed? Exactly: the legendary Trabant 601!

The Trabant 601, the famous "racing cardboard", was the most built car in the GDR. From 1964 to 1990 - even after the fall of the Berlin Wall - the iconic two-door rolled off the assembly line at Sachsenring Automobilwerke in Zwickau. Almost three million “Trabis” have been produced, and each one has been eagerly awaited. Because whoever wanted to own a car in the former GDR often had to wait more than ten years from ordering to delivery. In 1991 director Peter Timm and actor Wolfgang Stumph created a cinematic monument for the Trabant 601. The film “Go Trabi go” is still one of the most successful comedies in Germany.

Revell has been entertaining, inspiring, and educating model builders for over 70 years. Revell brand is a testament to the popularity of detailed plastic model kits that are affordably priced. Launched in 1943, Revell initially produced a wide range of products, including train sets, scale buildings and "action pull toys" recreating some of America's most popular automobiles. However, the brand found its niche with a line of fast-building "Highway Pioneers" plastic model car kits in the early 1950s. After their success, Revell focused exclusively on making models that were as authentic as they were enjoyable. Most recently we are introducing our newest line, Revell Junior Kit, which allows children as young as age 5 to assemble and dis-assemble for hours of creative play. Revell manufactures model kits suitable for all ages. Revell is proud to carry on the tradition of accuracy and provide a challenging, and enjoyable pastime for all model hobby enthusiasts.
