About the Ford Taunus 12M P2 Blue Stripes Revell 1:18

TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast Ford Taunus 12M P2 in blue with racing stripes reproduces the 1960 German-market Ford saloon, a distinctly European design separate from Ford's American range of the period. Diecast construction suits its compact, upright saloon proportions.

The Taunus name rarely appears on collector shelves outside continental Europe, which makes this P2-generation model a genuinely distinctive find for a broader Ford display.

Diecast Detail on a Compact European Saloon

The 12M P2's upright, boxy saloon proportions give a diecast model straightforward panels to reproduce accurately, and the added stripe detailing on this version gives the finish a sportier read than the plain saloon would carry on its own. Blue paint should present cleanly across the car's flat sides, with the stripe application requiring crisp, straight edges to look intentional rather than sloppy. Revell's diecast build should carry the expected metal weight, opening doors typical of the format, and a simplified interior consistent with mainstream diecast pricing for a subject this specialised.

A German Ford Built for Its Own Market

Ford ran largely separate European and American product lines through the mid-twentieth century, and the Taunus was the German-market saloon developed independently of Ford's US Falcon and Fairlane models of the same era. That separate development gives the Taunus a genuinely different character and styling language from the more commonly modelled American Fords of the period.

A Distinctive Piece for a European Ford Collection

For collectors interested in Ford's global range beyond its familiar American models, this Taunus 12M P2 fills a genuinely underrepresented niche, a worthwhile addition alongside better-known Ford diecast from either side of the Atlantic.
