HO Kit

Model International (Duve und Schultz OHG, Mörfelden-Walldorf) was founded in 1974 as a mailorder company for 1/43 carmodels and model kits. They expanded in making their own 1/43 white-metal kits and became the distributor for the Spanish made 1/87 EKO models [EKO aircraft , too ?].
In 1981, the company was reformed into Duve GmbH and, because the quality of the white-metal kits could not keep up with the quality of mass-produced injection moulded plastic models, decided to start making models in plastic.The first plastic models were available under the PreP (Pre-Praline) name in 1981. The first Praline models came onto the market in 1982. 1991 Praline relocated to St. Georgen and moved to Schönheide in 1993. In 1994 Praline was taken over by Busch [1] .

Modell International issued two FISCHER kits with the HO-Kit label:

The glider has the FISCHER kit No. FM 1 moulded into the fuselage (see picture below ) the car has the kit No.FM 2 moulded in the bottom plate [1] .



I have a Model International catalogue of unknown date which lists the two kits under the FISCHER label. Maybe they first distributed them but later produced them themselves from the FISCHER moulds. Obviously BUSCH after taking over Model International inherited the moulds and produced their own glider sets.
