Description
In the course of the first program for motorising the Reichswehr from 1926, development of three-axle cross-country lorries with a payload of 3 tons was demanded besides others. Three companies were involved in the development: Büssing, Henschel and Krupp. The first Henschel model – the Henschel type 33 B 1 – was delivered in 1928. A widely improved version of the Henschel type 33 D 1 was manufactured beginning in 1934. The rear axles were now propelled by only one cardan shaft with an additional short cardan shaft between the rear axles. The wheelbase between the first and second axle was increased from 3,400 to 3,750 mm. The performance characteristics were not changed by these improvements. Simplex rims with six spokes were introduced with this model, too.
Set consists of 15 fine 3D-printed 1:600th/3mm scale miniatures. Models are sold with print supports and need side-cutters and hobby knife to remove them.
