MAN HAK 19.241 with Snowplow & Gritter
Presented here is the 1:50th scale oldtimer bonneted MAN HAK 2-axle truck with front mounted snow plow, tipping rear body and gritter unit from Conrad.
The MAN HAK 4x4 truck chassis is highly detailed beneath with driveshafts fitted to both axles and front wheel steering which achieves a tight turning radius. All the hubs are finely detailed with good definition of the treads moulded into the rubber tyres
The contoured bonnet looks good with a finely textured front grille, painted indicator lights and authentically replicated MAN logo. The cabin interior has a simply modelled interior with seating and steering wheel visible within.

The front bonnet can be opened to show the internal engine block and radiator which is a nice addition on the model.

A connection plate is fitted to the front of the chassis to connect the snowplow equipment which features height and angular movement of the blade with integrated static modelled support wheels and self-fit plastic warning poles. |
|
The rear tipping body has cast sides with an included pivoting tailgate for use during summer months while the rear gritting body has been constructed well with four metal legs supporting it when disconnected from the truck. |
The hopper has sloping sides with a flexible rubber belt in the bottom to transfer the material onto the rear spreader plate. To protect the belt from damage during loading, a protective bar is suspended by metal rods while a blue coloured cover fits snugly in place. |

A folding metal ladder and viewing platform is integrated into the rear of the frame and the spreading assembly is hinged, allowing it to be raised for servicing.
The model is finished in a vibrant orange colour with red chassis and silver highlighting of the front grill frame, lights and door handles. The model is supplied with self-fit wing mirrors and flexible plastic rods that insert into the holes in the front fenders.
