I have never been a fan of `straight out of the box`and the MAN F1200 front loader is no exception. The cab has been converted to a day one and is now right hand drive, the chassis has been extended and a third axle added. All that remains is for the body (with it`s TEN hydraulic rams) and lifting mechanism to be constructed - which I`m not expecting completion of this side of Christmas.

Thanks for that Paul. The body has proved to be a lot more time consuming than I had anticipated. However, I can build it in three distinct sections - the hopper, the compactor and the lifting tail-gate. So that`s one down and two to go.

Hi,
That is excellent fabrication of the body - you're going to have a well executed, unique model by the time you are done.
Cheers,
