"Water Blue" interesting color choice.

That's Hanomag's cooperate colors. I think the vast majority of the B11s were orange or yellow. It's a pretty neat prototype but this does not really capture the look of it. That bucket sticks way out in front of the lift arms on the model.

Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on this:

I love these early death trap loaders.

The only blue ones appear to be models.

Wiking has announced a yellow Hanomag B11 for February.  https://www.wiking.de/en/shop/hanomag-radlader-maisgelb.html

No cab or canopy, so this would be a "pre-OSHA" machine manufactured before ROPS were required.

"Water Blue" interesting color choice.

There's an almost CAT yellow open cab version too.  The cab on the blue version bugs me, with no visible support cage.

The Yellow version popped up at MBK. If you want one hurry cuz they only have 5.

I have just added a couple of each to my order. Should arrive next week. Unless the supplier runs out of stock.

I thought it might be of interest to see how the Wiking Hanomag B11 looks compared to the Artitec Volvo LM 218.



The Artitec model certainly has more detail, but I think that should be expected.
