Default Unimog Cab

Anyone know who makes a really good unimog cab? I saw one here once that was hard plastic and very detailed. I looked at the bruder ones but i dont know if they will be wide enough and the tamiya lexan ones arent bad but i would rather it was abs or another hard plastic.

Bruder's U1300 Unimog is really tiny. 1:16 scale I think. MRC axles are even just slightly too wide. This company called Hafner in Germany makes a few cabs and I believe they're the only hardbodies available.

They make different scale sizes so if you happen to decide to part with the big money, make sure you get the right size.

Found it, here's what the crew cab U1300 looks like. (Pretty damn sweet)

I'd go with a Dickie Unimog if you can find one... Best detailed Unimog cab around IMO


I had one and regret selling it.....

I found that site quite a while ago...but couldn't think of parting with that much cash for a cab. I was going to buy 2 of the 406 cabs and make a Doka

That's not a real Unimog

Guess I'm a purest...but I think they stopped being Mogs after the 1300 series

the dickie mogs are great. i have had one sitting in the corner for 2 years waiting its turn. working winch, snow plow, and service lights...

i got mine off of www.ebay.de ....and did a lot of copy and paste translation. find a place that uses paypal and be prepared to wait. took over a month to ship. you might get lucky and find someone in the states that will part with one....but it wont be cheap.
