Description:
The mighty bonnet truck from Kaelble deserves to be given this new assignment. As a matter of fact, no freight was too heavy for the Kaelble original during its lifetime. While the 300 hp machine groaned when burdened with a full load, it tackled any incline - no matter how steep. Now rolling into the portfolio as a 1:87-scale miniature semi-truck with flatbed, this Kaelble classic emanates the trucker spirit of the nineteen sixties: A large steering wheel and small window paired with a mammoth bonnet. Back then, freight forwarders were happy with the superior flexibility that a flatbed semi-trailer afforded them. When it came to performance and horsepower, Kaelble remained the go-to supplier for many decades – also on the international market. What is more, Kaelble enjoyed somewhat of an unchallenged position in the tractor unit sector. The imposing bonnet with the proudly displayed 300 hp lettering made the viewer look up in awe.

Driver’s cab and bonnet sand yellow. Roof surface and bumper imprinted white. Chassis with tank and exhaust, axle mount and axle cover as well as wheel rims also sand yellow. Tyres in pearl grey. Radiator grille, interior, steering wheel, intake manifold, marker poles, and exterior mirrors olive grey. Silver grille imprint with Kaelble lettering and notice “300 hp”. Headlamps silver, tail lights imprinted red. Tread in contrasting olive grey. Side door and grab handles imprinted silver. Semi-trailer with sand yellow platform, axle mounting, and wheel rims sand yellow. Tail lights imprinted red.
