Union-Transport – the colours of this haulage company were widely known as early as the 1950s. They identified a company that provided reliable goods distribution by both long-distance transport and to customers nearby. WIKING has used the opportunity offered by new moulds to miniaturise the contemporary and attractive prototype of the historic Büssing 4500 box truck into a 1:87 model. Boasting a payload of 4.5 tonnes and a total weight of 8.7 tonnes, the type 4500 was intended to round out the distribution transport fleet offered by the Braunschweig lorry builders.

Driver's cab with box body and rear doors carmine red. Interior dust grey, box roof white. Chassis as well as rear fenders and wheels anthracite grey. Driver's cab front with silver headlamps and Büssing spider imprinted silver. Bicolour Büssing logo printed in bright red orange and cobalt blue. Anthracite grey imprint on bumpers and fenders. Door handles painted silver, orange indicators. Front of box with white lettering “Union-Transport”. Side box imprint “Union Transport-Betriebe”.
