Models of the Hungarian-built Ikarus buses have been made by s.e.s and BeKa from Germany in 1/87th scale and by various Eastern European producers of handbuilt models in 1/87th and 1/43rd scale, and even Matchbox released a 1/140th scale Ikarus bus in their "1-75" range in 1986. More recently, Ixo made detailed diecast models of Ikarus buses and Hungarian Csepel trucks, mostly for partworks by Atlas. However, Hungarian companies such as Deak, WUMM Modell and Minimodelle also produced 1/87th scale models of Ikarus buses and of Hungarian trucks (Csepel, Rába) in the 1980s and 1990s. Tin plate or plastic toy cars in bigger scales were also made in Hungary and mostly marketed under the Lemezárugyár name, and Hungarian copies of older small-scale diecast models from Western Europe were manufactured by companies such as Playmobil Hobby-Cars (mostly Matchbox copies, partly with plastic bodies, late 1970s), Metchy (Matchbox and Siku models, from the mid-1980s), Metalbox (Matchbox and Corgi Juniors, late 1980s) and Metalcar (illegal copies of models by various Western producers). Finally Kaiser Models, a company based in Budapest, started production of 1/43rd scale resin handbuilt models of classic sports cars in the late 1980s. Another Hungarian manufacturer, Mili, made handbuilt 1/43rd scale resin models of classic road cars in the 1990s and early 2000s. Models of contemporary Hungarian emergency vehicles were made by the Chinese company Hongwell Cararama in the 2000s.
