        I know it’s meant to be that way, I just find it an odd type of figure — not just for this one, but in general. TBH, I find most figures look odd if they fall between the traditional bust (head plus shoulders) and a full figure.

                        Thats looking rather splendid and i bet it wont cost anywhere near the price of the Takom release (£50-£60 - unless you get one on eBay from the far east).

                            Not sure Dave. However, it has lowered suspension, low profile tires, big bore exhaust and a fastback profile to the cab, so perhaps it’s for the farming petrolhead in your life? Actually it’s quite an interesting looking vehicle.

                              Think it may have something to do with having "rubber tires" instead of "agricultural wheels" ?? :upside:

                                :tongue-out3: From my Dictionary:
                                Trafic Tractor (n.)
                                An agricoltural 4 wheeled diesel engine vehicle usually found on narrow or/and very trafficked roads slowly crawling from or to an always too far field, frequently associated to a trailer or other t. tractors.
                                Very often the one just in front of you is pulling a trailer full to the brim and beyond with manure.
                                They are called trafic tractors because of the trafic of unrepeatable words flaring up from car and lorrie drivers who have the mischance to meet them on the same road.
