PDH Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 It's the green one for me. Much more like a Claas as I remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 To my mind they are both equally as good, afterall, they are both the same model but in diferent liveries. The silver has the edge as this was the original Claas colour with the red elements like the decals etc and I was always pretty sure that the green livery came with the first Matadors. Unsure at present as to wheather I will get a green Europa might wait to see what the UH Matador is like when it is finally released. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
