Hello Andrea & Fabio,
This is a very good looking model! My compliments! Your previous truck, the
MB mixer also is a very clever truck.
I looked at the MAN pictures and saw the simple but very realistic looking
tipping mechanism. Creating that was on of the biggest hazzards to my MAN
truck. Maybe because the scale is larger (1:13, based off 24x43 wheelsm see
msg http://news.lugnet.com/modelteam/?n=746 ). But your tipper body also
looks heavy (2 studs thick). That's a typical bodywork in the southern
countries of Europe, I also saw some in Greece.
The only thing your truck misses is the loading crane ;-)
It's a shame I haven't seen your models in real life. I had the opportunity
in Zwolle last October, but I didn't went to the show. Maybe it's an idea to
show it in Geldermalsen, during the largest crane and heavy haulage model
show in Europe ;-)
Keep going and we will see more of you work in the (near) future.
Dennis Bosman
