Introduced in the spring of 1954 the Doepke MT (MG) was an instant hit. It looked fabulous with its true-to-life detailing and its hefty size. The Doepke MT came in kit form. Early kits included a body that was left in primer, allowing the builder to add their own custom paint job. Later versions were primarily red, but there were also light yellow and black versions produced, these two colours are extremely scarce today. The Doepke MT (MG) production run was from 1954 to at least 1956. The scale is approximately 1:16.
