About the Ford Taunus 12M P2 Blue Stripes Revell 1:18
TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast Ford Taunus 12M P2 with blue stripes reproduces the compact sedan Ford's German Cologne operation built around 1960. Diecast construction preserves the car's upright, understated period shape, a niche subject for a vintage European Ford collection.
The Taunus name rarely gets mentioned outside dedicated German Ford circles, and that relative obscurity is part of what makes this diecast worth a second look.
Revell's Diecast Build of the Taunus 12M P2
Blue stripes across the Taunus's upright, three-box sedan shape give the model a sportier visual accent than the plain factory finishes typical of the period. Diecast tooling handles the car's straightforward, boxy panels cleanly, without the compound curves that would challenge a mass-market casting. Typical opening features reveal a cabin styled with the simplicity expected of an early 1960s compact family sedan rather than any performance pretension. This is an honestly modest subject, and Revell's execution treats it that way, delivering accurate proportions without overstating detail the real car never had.
A Compact Sedan From Ford's German Operations
The Taunus 12M was part of Ford's separate German product line based in Cologne, distinct from Ford's British and American offerings of the same period, reflecting how Ford ran largely independent regional operations in Europe before later consolidating its designs. Cars like this one rarely feature in mainstream automotive retrospectives, which makes them genuinely interesting to collectors specifically drawn to lesser-known chapters of European Ford history rather than the marque's more famous American models. This diecast fits best on a shelf built around exactly that kind of specialist curiosity.
