610 series features

The 610 series consists of 11 packs of dimensions 24.5 x 13 x 4 cm, containing subjects in H0 scale, with catalog numbers from 610 to 620.

Its production begins in May 1975 with the 610 pack and ends in March 1978 with the start of production of the 620 pack.

The 610 series was initially produced in a first graphic format which did not bear the wording "made in Italy" on the back of the packaging, a wording added only later, effectively forming two different editions called "first edition" and "second edition".

The 610 series was also produced in 3 other "editions" for the foreign market:
an "international edition type A" which bears on the back the addition of the words "plastic non toxic", an "international edition type B" which bears on the back the addition of the words "Complies with international safety standards" in Italian and French, and a "French edition", whose packaging intended for the French market bears on the back, in addition to the words "made in Italy" and "plastic non toxic", a "wording" in which the importer, Claudie Berthier Services of Lyon guaranteed compliance with the most rigorous standards across the Alps.

It should be noted that the packs 617 and 618 which contained respectively 2 models and 1 model, in the last period were marketed respectively with 1 model and 2 model, with a sticker on the front of the packaging that modified the contents.

The Atlantic logo, the H0 scale, the words "military vehicles of 2 World War" in 4 languages, the name, the image and the quantity of the subjects contained are shown on the front of the packaging.

The Atlantic logo and the catalog number are shown on the side edges, while the cover images of some packs of the same series are shown on the top and bottom edges.

On the back of the packs there are the assembly instructions, the flags of a part of the nations participating in World War II and a more or less complete list of the catalog numbers of the same series.

It should be noted that in the list of catalog numbers, shown on the back of the first 3 packs, the American tank M29 C Amphibious weasel never produced is shown with the catalog code 613; the Sherman wagon actually produced is shown on the back of the subsequent packages with the catalog code 613.
