'Fill er up' 1938 Mercedes at the Leuna Petrol Station


Recommended Posts

Dear Fellow Modellers

 

This is the Miniart petrol pump set and a scratch built 1930’s scale petrol station made from wood, balsa and plastic.  It has been wired to allow it to be fully illuminated.  Leuna benzin was a petrol produced synthetically from coal by I.G. Farben. The production was subsidized by the Weimar Republic to reduce the costs associated with oil imports.  Production began in 1927 at the Leunawerke refinery. Sales were carried out by the I.G. subsidiary Gasolin, which in 1939 had around 4000 filling stations throughout Germany.

Some of you may remember my Miniart 170V cabriolet from an earlier post

 

Hope you like it?
