Hey
Look at this picture:
http://f24.parsimony.net/forum61776/messages/58775.htm
And then this:
http://www.marzdistribution.com/insideMarz/moreinfo.cfm?ID=LEGO-8455
The last picture is just an proto type! Look at alle the wrong colors, the
"old style" off valves, the back grab is "naked" there are missing some
"styling"...
There is missing one pneumatic pumps, and it is not placed on the right place.
Best regards Kim Andersen
