Dr. Cranky Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I had never seen this before and it's about to be released. Does anybody have more information on this . . . has anyone built one? Krupp Titan SWL 80 ('50) Plastic Model Kit Product ID : 80-7559 Overview Skill level: 5 Scale: 1:24 Length: 393 mm Parts: 324 Description The 1950s' most impressive 8-ton flatbed. The Krupp Titan made its debut at the 1950 Paris Motor Show. A 210 hp 6-cylinder diesel engine and four-passenger cab made it one of the decade's most impressive trucks. Kit features a detailed SW 6 six-cylinder diesel engine with Roots blower, a realistic sub-frame and platform, detailed driver's cab interior fittings, an opening hood, a detailed brake linkage, a removable spare wheel holder, detailed folding tilts, two roof options, seven tires, movable front wheels, assorted chrome parts and decals with Rheinisch-Westfälische haulage company and Baumann freight forwarder markings. I think it will build into a great model . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The70judgeman Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Been waiting for this one to be released, because for some stupid reason I have to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Been waiting for this one to be released... Isn't this an old kit that's already been around for many years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think so, Harry, but I had never seen it or at least paid any attention to it. UNTIL NOW . . . . Rodney, that's for the link. Erik is doing an amazing job with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It's a reissue of a RoG kit from the early '90s, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Isn't this an old kit that's already been around for many years? Maybe...I don't know. I know there is another kit of a Euro truck, Bussing 8000S I think. I just haven't seen any on the shelves anywhere and like I said before...I just gotta have one. At least a reissue would probably be cheaper anyway. Edited May 14, 2012 by The70judgeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch of both of them on ebay right now, the Krupp and the Bussig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) There are a bunch of both of them on ebay right now, the Krupp and the Bussig. Yup...I know. Have to save $ right now. Just bought a scooter last week, so the truck(s) will have to wait a little bit. Edited May 14, 2012 by The70judgeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDO Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 OK, who's gonna turn the cab into a rat rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is a kit that was originally released by Revell Germany a couple of years ago. I would say around 2005. It´s a really nice kit with nice moldings and lots of detail. It builds into a good looking kit, right out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 OK, who's gonna turn the cab into a rat rod? I was thinking about it, but I just like the way the truck looks totally stock too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I knew I had some pictures of old german trucks - and look what I found. I took this picture on the IAA show 2010 in Hannover. It´s an exhibition for commercial vehicles (and a lot of other stuff) but they also have a rather large section of oldtimers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) ROFL! They messed up the decals on the load bed sides. Rhein. - Westf. should be on the front protion, Frachten - Kontor on the rear. I'd love to do this one: I like the colours, I like what it is transporting, and I can remember seeing those when I was a wee lad.
