OM Lupetto flatbed Brekina

Brand - Reference

Brekina 34601

Type

OM Lupetto flatbed

Comments

Unpainted model. Headlights, rear lights, indicators and wipers painted. Specific mirrors provided (not silver); they have a well adjusted post which does not necessarily require gluing. The axles are mounted with a clearance much lower than usual, which will avoid shortening the axles. The windscreen is well recessed.

The box is Wiking type, and the holding device does not avoid the risk of damaging the mirrors.

The tarpaulin is removable, as well as the tray, which is not glued to the chassis.

Modifications

Mirrors silvered and mounted.
