Description:
The cab almost seems to want to crouch down with its markedly drawn-down design. Meanwhile, the imposing marker poles highlight visually how much power this long bonnet can generate. Its appeal is made complete by the brand image of the Union-Transport forwarding company, which has been well established at WIKING for a long time - a premium model with plenty of character and the allure of a true post-war classic! Crafted from new WIKING moulds, the Henschel HS 140 from 1950 makes it easy for the beholder to take a shine to it. The 1:87 model shines with an intricate tractor unit body with true-to-the-original engravings of Henschel star and body beads. The family of WIKING classics has been expanded by another epoch-defining member. With the Henschel HS 140, the lorry makers from Kassel put their first horsepower flagship of the post-war ear on the road. The 1:87 model WIKING is now unveiling constitutes a completely new development with a design that stayed extremely close to the historical documents. The driver’s cab is distinguished by the typical bulbous doors. The elaborate engravings of rear window and roof fans and those found on radiator grille and bonnet are well proportioned. The radiator grille naturally includes the typical Henschel star and has even been inserted as a separate piece. The design is rounded out by the Henschel lettering and the elevated bonnet buckles.

Driver's cab carmine red, interior with steering wheel dust grey. Front fenders and headlamp strip as well as chassis with cardan shaft and rear fenders plus wheel rims anthracite grey. Radiator grille black with silver-painted Henschel star. Roof surface imprinted white. Bonnet with hinge painted silver and black bonnet buckles and silver Henschel lettering on a black background. Ornamental strips and door handles painted silver. Front headlamps likewise painted silver, tail lights imprinted carmine red. Semi-trailer with anthracite grey chassis, stabilizer legs, double fenders and wheel rims. Carmine flatbed with silver base insert and basalt grey tarp. Imprint on side of flatbed with white lettering “Transport-Betriebe” and black shadowing. Tarp with white Union lettering and black shadowing.
