Info: Model International (Duve und Schultz OHG) was founded in 1974 as a mailorder company for 1/43 carmodels and modelkits. To expand their line of business Model International started to make their own 1/43 white-metal kits and became the distributor for the Spanish made 1/87 EKO models. Due to the good quality of the 1/43 kits these became very popular, and this was one of the reasons Model International started the Walldorf Mini line of white-metal kits in 1/87. The first Walldorf Mini kits were released in 1979.

In 1981, the company was reformed into Duve GmbH and, because the quality of the white-metal kits could not keep up with the quality of mass-produced injection moulded plastic models, decided to start making models in plastic. This, ofcourse, required investments in machinery and expensive moulds. After a lot of pre-production problems, including the bankruptcy of one of the suppliers, the first plastic models were available under the PreP name in 1981. The first Praline models came onto the market in 1982
