K16 Dodge Tipper

Post by nearlymint »

Finally found a cab with the same base as my colour trial.

1 and 2 are the same.
3 has an added brace up the middle.
4 has another brace added across and axle braces.
5 has a tow guide/brace.
4 and 5 also have added braces to the plastic suspension(can also be found tinted)
I will try to update this as I find more.

Thanks Wolfie, I do like this model very much.
Mick I think there are probably quite a few about with this first type base. Most are just overlooked probably and not so many people looking at the variations on these models. But i just cannot help it, the more variations I find the more I get to keep in my collection :D

Jason has the front bumper on variant 2 been pranged??

It looks more curved on the left side (looking at the base) than the right side or is it just me eyes playing tricks?

Thanks Numi,
Yes Alex the model has been dropped from a great height by the looks of it.
