Here's a nice MPC clone buckboard - at least for now I'm calling it a clone. These gray wagons are still being made and available at The Hobby Bunker (https://www.hobbybunker.com/products/buckboard-wagon-wsingle-hitch-brown-horse-driver-mpc4775bn) but it's obvious that the horse, hitch, and driver are original MPC on this sample. So what makes me think it's a clone? The pale yellow wagon wheels. Originals are a nice bright lemon yellow (I'm afraid the photos make the wheels appear brighter than they are IRL). A couple of posts ago I mentioned that it's best to modify the driver's if they won't fit on the wagons properly and that held true for this guy. This is a peg butt driver and the peg had to be whittled down enough such that there's only a slight bit of resistance placing him on the seat. He'll stay put and won't fall out now and all without breaking the wagon. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
