K2C Scammell Heavy Wreck Truck

[Tinman]

Hi Bob,
Apart from those differences you mentioned, I noticed the front bumper is unique. That is a first.

I'm wondering if the bumper lights have been broken off, rather than were never there in the first place?

That's probably the case, there's other stuff broken off too and the patina of the unpainted parts hides it as well.

The lights also appear to be much more rounded on top.

There is a flatter spot near the top, they don't look unusual to me (then again I don't have it in hand). Since it's heavily modified after it left the factory, I seriously doubt this model is anything unusual and is just altered after the fact by accident and subsequent repair efforts.

I've zoomed in on a couple of examples for sale on eBay and both had the bumper light broken off.

I've just picked up a superkings gold body clear windscreen and clear roof lights version which I'm quite pleased with.

Added variation #19 with one dome light (factory error).

Hi Charlie,

I tried to buy one of these recently only to see seller had ended the listing, funnily enough because there was an error in the listing.

This is quite interesting on this one of yours.
It would appear that the casting flashed over the left beacon hole and subsequently painted. It is a wonder it was not rejected when the glazing unit which includes the beacons was being fitted.

Charlie could we see a photo from the front showing glazing and is the left beacon still in place please?

Charlie has actually put this in its position earlier in the thread on page 1 here...download/file.php?id=48478 and the glazing does look out of place to me because of the blocked hole.

Hi Bert,

It seems that the glazing was forced inside the cab. It does not fit tight all the way up and as expected the left dome light is missing.
I also wonder why it wasn't rejected.

I like that factory error version. Or maybe is was a late Friday afternoon version.

That guy Friday sure gets blamed for a lot of error models!
