Welcome to our Website.
We are a French association so our website is in the French language. In order to make it more accessible to foreign 1:87 scale car enthousiast we decided to open a thread in English. When you have questions or need info about the threads on our site, this is the place to be. In order to participate, you don’t have to be a member of our association; you only need to create a free personal login and you will be able to post your questions. There is also the possibility to become an official member of our association for a small yearly fee. Being a member gives you acces to our yearly General Assembly where we physically meet and take decisions about the future. Also you can benefit from a discount of several retailers. And you can get your hands on our yearly “Exclusive Model”. Interested in a membership? Mail us at info@autho87.fr
Autho87.....who are we?
Our association aims to promote all road vehicles in 1:87 scale: automobiles, trucks, exceptional convoys, public works vehicles, mining, circus, military vehicles, fire and police vehicles, coaches/buses, agricultural, ... of all times. Our association is governed by the 1901 law, recognized as a public utility by the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
We are about forty members, French, Belgians,Italians, Dutch, ... from eight to eighty-seven years old. We participate in many exhibitions throughout France and Europe where we have been rewarded with many cups. Our General Assembly takes place every year in Spring, each year in a different place, where each participant brings his most beautiful achievements, which transforms our General Assembly into a real show of the miniature road vehicles. The 1/87th scale has acquired its credits for about twenty years by the high quality of reproduction, detailing and fidelity of its models, which does not prevent our modelers, using photos of real vehicles, from detailing them even more!
As we live in all different places and countries, this website is the tool to communicate with our fellow member, share pictures and discuss the latest 1:87 news.
