No pipe, pipe hooks or fill points on the tankers by the looks.. Kinda thought that be the case.. 

all small break off bits that a toy maker has to be aware of to sell it as a toy, hence why you guys put all them warnings about "unsuitable for under 14's " all over the websites ect blake??? and why the better versions like uh joskin's have the same warning on them to

TW bonnets look to low (Again) :-   nevermind their not on my shopping list however a JCB 550 could well be...............I bought the TM310 but its just not detailed enough and to be honest I rarely see any articulated loadalls............. but Im willing to overlook lack of detail on a proper 1/32  traditional style JCB telehandler and also I would be able to use all the 310 attachments on it as well I should think :)

The plastic pipe hooks on the old Alfa Laval and original Bauer tankers frequently broke off in a young collector's hands. The hooks on the Bauer were part of the body mould and were brittle plastic, the ones on Alfa were a separate piece on soft plastic that fit in a hole on the metal tank body, but were still vulnerable to snapping. Perhaps they just wanted to limit the number of breakable parts on these tankers.

Exactly, yip.. I was curious too see if they had them or not for those reasons, because if they did have them fitted I assumed they would have to be manufactured in a way too give strength and durability, which probably would of meant them being over-scaled and possibly ruining the look of the whole thing overall.

The TW's arn't looking too hot... Closer pics may prove me wrong of course but they look a bit squat from that angle. The Loadall looks nice but the hitch is there just to annoy us isn't it?!! Surely a functioning one could have been worked into that even if it was just a fixed pin at the base of the fixed moulding.

 

Paul, what's the obsession with mirrors? not superstitious are you?!! :lol:

it just pees me off when they dont fit them on just a few models,but they are fitted to the majority,it means you have to buy a set,and all the work that goes fitting them,not a big job i know,but one you shouldnt have to do

Sure i have share them to GTP and aslo to agrarmodellbau and farmer forum.But if its wrong, you can do your thing and block me. But think about it i have also post pictures from GTP over here in the Replic Agri post.

only having a laugh Arno , that's why people don't put their names or websites on the pics so they can be freely shared with all , sure we have done similar over the years as a good few of us browse GPT as well me included
