This is how the behemoth was seen most commonly in the seventies: Spear-headed by its mighty bonnet, the Henschel HS 140 pulled the rear tipper semi-trailer from the quarry to the cement factory or straight away to the construction site. One look at its imposing marker poles is enough to gauge the enormous power this long bonnet truck could generate – the designers from Kassel demonstrated their great sense of proportion. With the Henschel HS 140, the lorry makers from Kassel put their first horsepower flagship of the post-war era on the road. 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 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.
