STARTER KIT Goods Trailer

Description

Product Description:
The Goods Trailer Starter Kit from Heller (ref. 56778) is a complete 1/24 scale set for building a detailed replica of a European freight trailer. This kit includes everything needed for assembly and painting, making it ideal for pairing with a truck model to create a realistic road haulage combination.

Historical Background:
Freight trailers have been a key part of modern road transport since the 1950s. Developed alongside heavy trucks, they were engineered to maximize load capacity, stability, and safety over long distances.
In the 1970s-80s, two- and three-axle trailers like the one represented in this kit were widely used for national and international transport, carrying manufactured goods, foodstuffs, and various materials. Rugged and often customized with company liveries, they remain iconic in the history of European road logistics during the second half of the 20th century.
