42203 Tipping Dump Truck

[anyUser]

The truck is tiny compared to 42128 Tow Truck:

It'll also look funny compared to the Volvo truck from 42175.  It would matter less if there was only one rear axle as a doule axle indicates a heavy duty truck.

On the suggestion of using 49 mm truck tyres:

- bigger cabin (orange one is adapted from 8052)

- overall width increase from 13L to 15L.

However, I think the model has potential for improvement:

Because of the 19L and 13L frames the truck chassis does not need many parts:

I think it should be feasible to drop the 3x5L lever on the tipping mechanism and move the linear actuator to the upper tier:

The left setup works fine for me.

The relocation would free space to add a differential on rear axle(s).
In the cabin seems to be space to add a 4-cylinder fake engine.

Because it's scale of 8292, 8052 and 42008.

Although he appears to have a great subject matter, he is too small with few features, like an enlarged version of 42147
