The Yellow Angel - A Trabant 601 As A Rescue Car Of The Hungarian Automobile Club

This is a Trabant 601 Universal as a Rescue service car of the Hungarian Automobile Club in the 1970-s. I still remember these Trabants, cruising the Hungarian highways in those times helping the drivers got in trouble. Me and my father were also members of the Club and we also got their help on the road when we needed.

So when I got a Trabant 601 Universal model, I thought, I would make this Rescue car from it. The original model was a German GRELL-made one and its colour was a terrible metallic green which I had never seen on real Trabants, so I repainted the model with pleasure.

The new colour is a vivid yellow, got the authentic stickers of the Hungarian Automobile Club (Magyar Autóklub) and I painted the details, too.

The roof light came from the Matchbox Toe Joe.
