Stahlberg Models

Stahlberg is a Finnish company producing detailed plastic promotional vehicles mainly of Swedish Saab and Volvo automobiles. These are not kits, but pre-assembled models. Years of production were from the early 1970s to about 1990.

Scales of these models vary from about 1:32 (about 5 inches long) to 1:24 scale (about 9 inches long). Some larger 1:12 scale (about 18 inches long) models were also produced. Stahlberg models are made of a softer plastic than American plastic promotionals and are molded in various colors. Models are not painted. Tires are not rubber but are made of the same type of plastic as body and chassis. Models are made with precise replication of the proportions and detail of actual vehicles, including accurate moldings, logos, and name scripts.

Interior and chassis detail is often a simpler molding than seen in American promotional models like AMT, MPC, or Johan. Chassis usually have no detail, but carry promotional advertising statements relating to the real car, like "Exceptional roadholding", "High standard of safety", or "Swedish quality".
