Description

HO 1:87 Scale

Year of manufacture: 1974-80

Good advertising: Scania L111 reflecting the style of the lorry makers

The Scania L111 epitomises the bonnet trucks the Swedes used to build into the nineteen eighties. At the time, the company had just dropped the long-standing double name of “Scania-Vabis”. The version of the Swedish tractor unit that WIKING has miniaturised is the last series model – when the hinged windows were already history in the prototype. This model newcomer of the Scania stanchion trailer truck brandishes the same colour scheme the Swedish lorry makers had chosen for the advertising with which they sent the vehicles out on the road. It goes without saying that WIKING attached primary importance to fine engravings again. Driver’s cab and bonnet have been furnished with an integrated radiator grille, while the three windows on the rear of the cab all come with a glazed window curvature on the side. The driver’s cab sides are equipped with a handle, while the engravings of door handles, body beads and drip rails show a true-to-the-original design. The driver’s cab roof can be used for a wide range of functions such as inserting warning lights or roof signs. The fenders have been decked out with a step including longitudinal engravings, while the recessed headlamps are presented with a filigree eyelash engraving. The headlamps have been designed as concave surfaces.
