I've got to start selling off other 1/35 kits from 10-20 years ago to make room for these and other modern, never before molded, beauties!!

I used to work with lift trucks, very similar to the Fug. I'll definitely be acquiring two(one for a civi conversion).

just kidding, respect for Takom for thinking outside the box.

The FUG already exists more than one year from Y-Modelle in the same scale, but in resin. The one here looks like an exact copy of the one existing.
This is the perfect model from Y-Modelle:

How can you say it looks like an exact copy when all we have to go by are drawings?
Additionally, why wouldn't it look the same? It is the same vehicle.

I'm sure he meant the pic on the box-art looks the same
This thing never ends.. every time a company makes a plastic model of a vehicle that another company makes in resin... certain people start to attack the plastic kit because, obviously, it will affect the sales of the resin kit... It is so obvious it's almost funny
Damn, you made me come out of my hibernation

I may as well simply post my credit card to Takom...... I suspect we may see a cargo truck from someone.

Lucky me, I bought the FuG from Y-Modelle before christmas .... now I can build it with different "tools", I couldn't choose between the forks and the dozer ;-)

Tobias: As all of the images here are artworks only and having read your previous reply before you deleted it, I cannot see how you can make the sweeping statement you have. If when the model is released or we see images of the actual model and the issue to which you allude is there with no other changes, then I can see your point. Don't get me wrong here you are intitled to your opinion, but it is one I do not share at the moment.

Very nice. The forklift kooks awesome. Too bad the US doesn't use that one.
The main difference is the hydraulics, on the rear and the rims.

Very cool! I really like the look of both. The Kraz 6322, man, I've seen a lot of them in the news lately. So many options for modern Russian stuff; but the fact that they include finishing options for Ukraine is awesome, And the forklift...well, it's an armored forklift, that's enough to be excited for alone!

Kraz 6322 is a Ukrainian truck, not Russian. It is made in Ukraine!
