The WIKING Magazine 2021 is your essential annual guide, fresh off the presses and packed with exclusive behind-the-scenes stories from the world of model making. This edition uniquely combines detailed reports on miniatures and backgrounds with an insightful model chronology focused on caravans and camper vans.

The magazine highlights the Clark forklift truck and the Normag Faktor I, revealing how these large industrial models from the post-war era were transformed into precise 1:87 scale miniatures six decades later. It also explores WIKING’s expert craftsmanship applied to the Mercedes-Benz service models and details the creation of the Henschel HS 140 as a striking 1:87 bonnet truck.
