Ack! Ack-ack! Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 This is my most recent build. Forum member Jürgen (Plastheniker) gave a short history of Büssing trucks in his topic Scratch Built 1951 Büssing 12000 U13 6x4 Underfloor Engine Truck http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82042 so I think can confine myself to the kit. Revell's Büssing is part of a series of three similar kits. The other two kits are the 1950 Krupp Titan and the 1950s Hanomag trailer. Actually Revell planned to continue this series in the 1990s with several more classic German big trucks but unfortunately sales figures of the first three kits were not as high as expected which made Revell drop these plans. There are reissues of all three kits from time to time. There is not much to say about the Büssing kit. It is simply the the best truck kit I know. Details are incredible, fit and casting quality especially of the chrome parts are perfect. Finally the finished kit makes a perfect replica of one of the classic German post-war trucks. It is a truly outstanding kit that justifies its (outside Germany supposedly rather high) price. As far as I know this is also true for the two other kits.

Ack! Ack-ack! Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 In the meantime I bought the Krupp and Hanomag kits. After a first review of the box content everything looks fantastic. I can't wait to start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell48098 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Fantastic build of this classic truck. Well done! A.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastheniker Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Beautiful model, great colour combination! I can confirm everything you said about the mentioned RoG kits. What a shame that they didn't continue this line of models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastheniker Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Rumours say that RoG will reissue all three kits by and by in limited quantities with new decals at lower prices. If you are interested in them keep it in mind. This model shows what can be achieved from these really fantastic but so often terribly botched kits.
