Along with the bonnet and the front weight with trailer coupling, the chassis of WIKING’s 1:32 model is crafted from die-cast zinc. These elements are joined by the cab made of plastic, which has the same glazing as the original and is fitted with matching lighting elements at the front and the rear. The cab is also equipped with doors that open towards the rear and that can be moved both on the left and the right, clearing the view for a glimpse into the cab. The license plate on the rear of the cab is included, as are the matching lighting unit and the inserted tail lights. WIKING has miniaturised the characteristic exhaust pipe on top of the bonnet along with the air scoop out of plastic. The same material was used for the ladders and wheel rims on either side. Other plastic elements form the rear coupling, but also the front radiator grille with inserted lamps. The steering of the front axle operates with great precision, guaranteeing a tight turn radius and keeping the steering wheel from turning along. Better yet, the rear coupling can be moved as well. Affectionately referred to by enthusiasts as “Brüllrohr” (roaring pipe), the gleaming chrome exhaust - an accessory option that could be retrofitted on the original – is included by WIKING at no additional charge. WIKING was able to capture the look of the Case brand with a true-to-the-original imprint of a detailed ornamental trim. The lettering Case International can be seen on the sides of the bonnet, while the type lettering 1455 XL graces the doors on the cab.
