Wiking Setra S8 Tour Bus Beige/Azur Blue 1952-58 WK073005 HO Gauge
Step into the golden era of post-war luxury travel with this beautifully detailed 1:87 scale model of the Setra S8 Tour Bus in beige and azur blue, produced between 1952 and 1958. An icon of German engineering and design, the Setra S8 was the first omnibus to feature a self-supporting body—an innovative concept pioneered by Otto Kässbohrer that gave rise to the Setra name, derived from the German word “selbsttragend” (self-supporting).
With its signature panoramic glass roof, sweeping bi-colour paintwork, and elegant chrome accents, the Setra S8 embodied the comfort and style of 1950s European coach travel. WIKING has faithfully recreated this classic vehicle, complete with finely imprinted trim and hand-painted detailing, evoking the era’s unmistakable flair for design and innovation. This model is a tribute to one of the most important milestones in the evolution of coach construction.
