Wiking 067708 H0 HGV Magirus Deutz Rear-Tipper box semi-trailer 235 D "Europe-Asia test drive"

This tour had it in itself – a test drive up to the load limit for man and machine! In 1965 it went 7018 kilometers from Munich to Kabul – a spectacular example history. Wiking miniaturizes the semitrailer with a lot of love for history and role model. Because this red Magirus semi-trailer, which the traditional model builders miniaturize 87-fold this time, has a remarkable history behind it. After the front-link generation of the Ulmer truck smithy premiered at the IAA in 1963 and announced the departure of Magirus's long-distance transport business, the Magirus managers had a hard test followed in 1965. Both the tractor of the Magirus 235 D 22, as well as the two-axle dumper trailer of the C.. Blumhardt Fahrzeugwerke from Wuppertal-Vohwinkel went on the unweighing route to Kabul on 8 March of that year. The semi-trailer, loaded with 20 tons, was then followed by a powerful truck tross from Munich to Kabul, which included a further ten Magirus corner hauber 200 D 16. They were – also fully loaded – intended for the major construction site of the Mahipar power plant near Kabul.
