Collector's guide: WSI Models in 1:50 scale
Who is behind WSI
WSI Models B.V. is based in Nieuwegein in the Netherlands. The range covers trucks, trailers, cranes and earthmoving machines, made of die-cast zinc and produced in China. Many models are made together with real companies – hauliers, crane hire firms, truck body builders. That is why so many WSI models come in a company livery. You can read more about the brand in our guide WSI Models: brand, range & heavy haulage.
1:50 and 1:87
In 1:50, one centimetre on the model stands for 50 centimetres on the real vehicle. A tractor and trailer becomes about 33 centimetres long – enough room for moving parts and readable company lettering. There is also a smaller line in 1:87 (H0 scale); in our shop these are currently Liebherr LTM mobile cranes.
What you will find here from WSI
The focus is on the road, above all heavy haulage and low loaders: tractor units from Scania, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz or MAN with Nooteboom low loaders, semi low loaders and a ballast tractor. There are also trucks with loader cranes by Palfinger or Fassi, tractor units with box, reefer or moving-floor trailers, an Arocs tipper and VW Transporter escort vehicles. You will find all road vehicles from every maker under truck models 1:50. All the cranes are Liebherr: LTM mobile cranes, LTF truck-mounted cranes on Scania or Volvo and the LR 1400 SX crawler crane. The machines are big quarry and mining equipment, such as the Liebherr R 9150, the PR 776 dozer or the Volvo EC950F. Many pieces carry the colours of real companies, for example Thömen, MSG, Hofmann or Franz Bracht.
In stock, register now, collector archive
Every model has exactly one status in our shop. In stock means: it is here with us, delivery takes 2–4 working days within Germany. Register now means: announced by WSI, but not here yet. You can sign up without obligation – no order, no payment, no reservation. All announced models are listed under upcoming models. Collector archive means: sold out and not produced again. These models stay visible so you can look up what was made. Use "Ask for an alternative" and we will look for a similar model for you. A few models are available on request – the product page always tells you.
How to find the right model
The quickest way is the item number. WSI numbers use a hyphen, for example 01-4672 or 64-2014. The same prototype often comes more than once: the Liebherr LTF 1060-4.1 is in the shop as 51-2181 on a Scania P for "Flossdorf" and as 51-2152 on a Volvo FMX for "3 Jinert". Same crane, different chassis, different company. If you collect a particular haulier, search for the number and the company name together.

Which scales does WSI make?

We do not take paid pre-orders. You can register for free; you only buy once the model is available.
