Herpa 158725
Type
Scania 141 tractor + 3-axle tarpaulin semi-trailer
Comments
Weight: 48 g.
The cab, unpainted except the metallized part, tilts. The tractor chassis is not painted and looks cheap. Same for the trailer’s which is a bit crooked.
The fifth wheel is shown in detail, including the locking lever, not functional anyway… The coupling is compatible with that of Brekina.
Mirrors broken by putting the model back in its (too narrow) box.
Modifications
Mirrors repaired with ⌀ 0.3 mm galvanized iron wire (this wire is soft enough to tolerate deformations without breaking).
History
According to Wikipedia Germany, Scania type 141 dates 1974. Turbocharged V8 engine, displacement 14.2 liters, 375 hp.
