The tractor unit from Kassel had to give it its all when it had the silo semi-trailer in tow. However, the Henschel HS 140 lived up to the expectations linked to its good name at the time when it picked up quartz sand and quartz powder and delivered both to the customer. Exemplifying a bonnet truck typical of its time, the HS 140 left its mark on the fifties before the cubic cab-over-engine lorries became popular at the lorry maker from Kassel during the following decade. 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 truck can generate. Crafted from new WIKING moulds, the Henschel HS 140 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 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model WIKING is now unveiling constitutes a completely new development with a design that stayed extremely close to the historical documents.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 brandishes the typical Henschel star, which has even been inserted as a separate piece. The design is rounded out by the Henschel lettering and the elevated bonnet buckles.
