The Inspiration: The MAN TGX XXL and Its History
The model we’re showcasing here is a scaled-down version of the MAN TGX XXL, one of MAN's flagship trucks for long-distance transport. This generation of the MAN TGX has been in production since 2020, and it's a significant upgrade from the previous model that originally succeeded the popular MAN TGA. MAN has a long tradition in heavy-duty and long-distance trucking, and the TGX continues that legacy in a modern way, offering cutting-edge solutions for efficiency, comfort, and safety. The XXL cab is the largest version available, designed specifically for long-haul and heavy-duty transport. Its aerodynamic design helps to reduce fuel costs, while the spacious interior offers maximum comfort for the driver. On the tech side, the real deal impresses with powerful engines up to 640 PS (630 horsepower), the innovative MAN Individual system, and top-notch safety features like emergency braking and lane-keeping assistants.
The Miniature Model: 1/87 Scale and Detail Precision
The model shown is made at a 1/87 scale, crafted by the renowned manufacturer Herpa. Models in this scale are super popular not just among hobbyists but also collectors, as they fit perfectly for use in model train setups or as standalone pieces. The Herpa model stands out due to its impressive detailing and is generally made from high-quality plastic. What really catches the eye is the faithful reproduction of the XXL cab, featuring recognizable aerodynamic lines and accurately rendered ventilation grills, headlights, and other exterior details. The trailer shown is apparently a specific design for the Buck Transporte company, as the logos and colors on its side make it clear.
Custom Design and Limited Edition
This model shines with its unique design, which closely imitates the colors and logos of Buck Transporte. The cab sports a beige finish, complemented by red and white elements that give it a dynamic look. The trailer is a deep green and has the standout text “Buck intern. Transporte” along with the company's address and contact info. You’ll also find sponsor logos and information about a brewery partnership on the side panels, adding even more character to the model. What’s especially cool for collectors is that this model comes in a limited edition, making it a sought-after piece for any collection.
Collectible Value and Detailed Presentation
This model is part of the collection from a member called “martin852” and is one of those rare miniature versions that collectors really appreciate due to its high level of detail. The realistic representations of the hubcaps and tires, along with the cleverly done back views of the trailer featuring red and yellow markings, are particularly impressive. The model-maker has paid attention to realistic proportions, making this piece equally attractive to enthusiasts and connoisseurs. The blend of quality materials with features like accurately designed company logos makes this model a small but lovingly detailed replica of the real MAN TGX XXL.
