The German Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Hello, friends of well-kept model making, Today I'm going to show you a truck from the 1950s. It is a Büssing 8000 S13. At some point the Büssing brand was acquired by the somewhat larger company MAN. The little logo with the lion had to be retained; you can still see it on MAN trucks today. Driving this truck was really tough back then. No servo support. Neither for brakes, steering or clutch! I think it's something different from an American truck? I hope you like it a little? Thanks for looking. Here are the pictures: Edited September 17, 2020 by The German
Jim B Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Very well done. I like it. What does that company haul, or is it a fictional company?
The German Posted September 17, 2020 Author Posted September 17, 2020 Hello jim Thanks for your praise. I am glad that you like the model. I checked it out. This company actually still exists and transports all kinds of goods. National and international long-distance transport. So Europe-wide.
The German Posted September 17, 2020 Author Posted September 17, 2020 @ Jouko:... late but not forgotten! Sorry, Thank you!
Doug 1061 Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Real nice job on that. I like the paint work, shiny but not show car shiny. Like you would see on an old workhorse. Looks ready for many years of use and abuse.
TarheelRick Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Excellent build, really like the hard work look. What scale is this and what company produced the kit?
The German Posted September 18, 2020 Author Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Many Thanks for your nice comments! That gives you the courage to keep going! @TarheelRick: This one is a kit by Revell in scale 1:24. Check out the picture: Edited September 18, 2020 by The German
