===European promotionals=== {{no footnotes|section|date=August 2016|small=}} With the exception of some firms like Stahlberg which made larger scale plastic promotional models of Swedish Volvos and Saabs in an American style, European promotionals were usually based on the 1:43 or 1:32 scale diecast metal models produced as toys or collectors items, often brightly colored or with authentic tampo or silk screen liveries for commercial products. Companies commonly making promotionals in Europe have been [[NZG Models]], [[Conrad Models]], [[Gescha]] in Germany and [[Tekno (toy manufacturer)|Tekno]] and Emek Muovi in Denmark and Finland, respectively. Tekno was one of the first European companies to offer a wide variety of multiple promotional variations. Almost all European toy model brands had some kind of promotional service, but in Germany, 1:50 scale was, and remains very common for trucks. In the United States, such diecast companies are rare, but [[Winross Models]] and Pennjoy are a couple of European style examples which have had much success, particularly Winross which has been making models since the early 1960s. Another variation on promotionals were whole toy lines or brands constructed to represent vehicles on display at particular automotive museums. Examples were [[Cursor Models]] of Germany which made models specifically on display in the [[Mercedes-Benz Museum]] in [[Sindelfingen]], R.A.M.I. by J.M.K. of France which made vehicles in the Automobile Museum de Rochetaillée sur Saône in France, or also [[Dugu Miniautotoys]] of Italy which made vehicles for the classic automobile museum in [[Turin]].
