Krupp Titan SWL80

[PierreR89]

Here is another odd old German truck that i just got done with.
The Krupp Titan SWL80.

The engine in it is a 2 stroke diesel made out of 2 small 3 cylinder engines combined to make a 6 cylinder engine.
It is just as big as my Büssing 8000 S13 is
I put it beside the büssing just to see if they were the same size and they were, also did the same with my Intrenational lonestar just to show the size of a German truck from the 50's compared to a modern truck.

The decals on the bed gave me some trouble as they were old and just separated from eachother when i tried to attach them so instead of sections of white diamond pattern i had to line up them one diamond by one...
That took some time...
I also had some other fitment issues with parts being warped probably because of the age of this kit, it was made in -98 and is not the reissue that has been out a few months now.

For those that wonder what "210PS" stands for, it is just that the engine has 210hp in it.
