EFSI 306 Mercedes Benz Leger Combinatie

A beautiful EFSI 306 Mercedes-Benz Army Combi in 1/60 scale, a charming and historically interesting model from the Dutch diecast tradition. This example is in very good condition, which is remarkable considering its age and the fact that EFSI military models were often intensively played with. This makes it an attractive item for collectors seeking original and well-preserved EFSI miniatures.

EFSI holds a unique place in model car history. Production took place in Dutch sheltered workshops, where employees carefully and skillfully crafted metal miniatures intended for everyday use. The models were known for their solid construction, recognizable design, and the charming simplicity typical of EFSI. For years, they were a staple in toy stores, schools, and play areas, later becoming beloved collector's items with a distinctly nostalgic character.

The choice of a Mercedes-Benz army combi reflects the popularity of military vehicles in toy production in the 1960s and 1970s. Mercedes-Benz produced a wide range of utility and military vehicles used throughout Europe, renowned for their reliability and functionality. EFSI transformed these vehicles into compact, robust models that perfectly suited the fun-loving play style of children of the time.

The EFSI 306 is a prime example of this approach, a combination of tractor and trailer in military livery, crafted from sturdy metal and recognizable by the simple yet clean lines of the original vehicle. The slightly industrial look, the distinct military livery, and the characteristic EFSI build quality give this model an authentic and period-accurate character. The 1/60 scale makes the model compact, yet detailed enough to retain the typical shapes of Mercedes-Benz design.

The fact that this example is in excellent condition makes it extra special. Many military combinations from this series show clear signs of intensive use, but here it's clear that the model has been carefully treated. The paint, trailer structure, and wheels are beautifully preserved, making the model a representative piece of toy history today.

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a piece of Dutch model building history, authentic, atmospheric, and with a clear military character. Ideal for collectors of EFSI, military vehicles, or enthusiasts of compact classic diecast models.
