I have started a new 1/43 assembly project, a 1930s Adler Trump junior, in white metal.
Information on this uncommon German car is not hard to find, but so far I can not identify "Pottenheimer Model." I have found some references to a "P-Models, Switzerland" builder of white metal models, but no mention of that company building an Adler.
Any ideas?

Yes, I checked Hobbydb, a fine source. It lists and pictures several Adler models by Danhausen, Auto Pioneer, Neo, and AutoCult; but not this Adler Junior and not the firm of Pottenheimer.

Interesting model David. I look forward to seeing your finished version.

@d-m-holcombe David - Once again Michel Sordet's Ma Collection gives us an answer. P-Models consisted of three models and it was Peter Ottenheimer of Zurich who was behind them. Per Sordet, 400 of each were made. No. 1 was a 1938 Mercedes 170V sedan, cast by John Day in 1973. No. 2 (your model) is the 1938 Adler Trumph Junior cast in 1974, also by John Day. No. 3 was a 1931 Maybach Zeppelin V12 touring car, cast by Barry Lester (of Motorkits fame) in 1975. So "Pottenheimer" was P. Ottenheimer.

Many thanks, Harv. Your good information makes me appreciate this one even more. I will make a copy and put it away with the packaging label. Enjoy!
