1:32nd Scale Claas Scorpion Telescopic Handler

Presented here is the Claas Scorpion telescopic handler with pallet forks from Universal Hobbies. The model presented here features fixed pallet forks with single stage hydraulic boom, side mounted engine housing and functional all wheel steering.

The opening cab door reveals an operator station brimming with detail. The dashboard is finished with an array of switches and dials along with air vents, foot control pedals and steering console with steering wheel and stalk mounted levers. The side console has reproduced arm rest and joystick control for the boom/bucket operation while the contoured seat has realistic simulated cloth pattern, complete with seat adjustment levers.

The large, curved front windscreen is partly protected by a plastic debris protection grill and has windscreen wipers, front facing work and indicator lights and rear view mirrors all fitted to the frame. The opposite side of the model has a detailed frame with integrated rear view mirror, front facing work lights and indicator lense. There are even light modules fitted to the boom for added realism

There are some stunning details on the model including the rear light cluster lenses which have brake, indicator and reverse lights all molded into the one piece lense. The use of silver paint to highlight the bolts on the rear plastic mud guards also shows the level of detail throughout the model.

The Claas version also has a rear mounted towing system allowing it to tow trailers or other inplements along with a mirror to allow the operator to see the hitch from the cab. There is even an authentic number plate fixed to the rear of the model.

The underside of the model has detailed drive train and working sttering of the front and rear axles. The paint quality is very high with all markings and warning labels reproduced throughout. While there are many plastic parts on the model, the shear level of detail is excellent and Universal Hobbies have produced a very good model at an affordable price.

Three Kramer versions of the model are available, one with pallet forks, one with bucket and one with waste handling bucket. The Claas version is also available with bucket.
