Looks good. 

This is a model of a hook lift container, and is one of a large range by MSM.  It is 3D printed in tough plastic.

Packaging

The model set comes in a windowed box with the model held in folded cardboard. 

The review model had no missing parts but the hook was detached in the box and had to be refixed.

It is fully assembled. 

Detail and Features

It has lightly textured surfaces consistent with a printed product.  The structure is modelled well.

There are replica aluminium panels on the sides and a ladder and other details at the rear.

There are opening loading flaps on top.

The unit fits a WSI truck very well.  It did not sit perfectly on a Conrad truck, possibly due to paint thicknesses on the Conrad model.

Quality

This is a decent quality printed part, and the finish is good.

Price

I
t is relatively pricey but provides a model not available otherwise.

Overall

This model provides an interesting option for hook lift truck owners.  It could be painted to suit a particular fleet.

Footnotes

It was released as one of a range in April 2023.
