Fortschritt E512 Combine

[keno]

Hello

Bought this model from a former Fortschritt dealer. According to him its a promotion model from the factory made in 1986. Its made of Wood 40cm long 

Question is it a oneoff or a few made for dealers? Hope someone can enlighten me

At the LCN show show in Holland there's always an exhibitor with models from the German Democratic Republic. I think his name is Broekema and I believe there was an article about him and his collection of Eastern German models in Agritoy magazine once. Maybe @agribouwer or @stehos know.

What I could find on the www, these models were made by Dewag in 1/25. They were not for sale to the general public. Made for dealers could be correct. Here are some other models they made. 

Dewag also made larger scale models (1/5) for exhibitions:

 

Here's a link to a collection on the German forum  Thomas´s Sammlung - Sammlungen - Landtechnikmodelle in 1:32 - Agrar Modellbauforum | Landtechnik & Modelltraktoren in 1:32

The real Fortschritt combines were imported into the UK by Bonhill Engineering and badged as Bonhills. Some of the Fortschritt rape swathers were badged as Shelbourne Reynolds in the UK.
