To tie two recent topics together, here are some Tekno Mercedes-Benz 220S ambulances from Denmark/ 1/43 scale, They were made from 1959 to 1969, a long run for Tekno, so many are still around. They did many color combinations as well, easily painted in two-tone because the body was cast in 3 parts (base, middle, top).
In 1962, Denmark switched from the yellow warning flag to a blue flashing light. Tekno was late and switched their model over about 1966. Speaking about finding headlights hidden in the packaging, I bought a nice all black one without the flag. They are a loose fit and are missing in many surviving examples. When it arrived, there was a rattle inside, so I opened it up and found the flag! What a nice 'free gift'!
Nice ones and really interesting cars ! It is great to get that hidden bonus, too.
