1/32 Zoukeimura vs Verlinden MD-3 mule tow tractor accuracy

[rock1947a]

The dimensions of the 1/32 Zoukeimura and Verlinden MD-3 mules are vastly different. Does anyone know which one, if either, is more accurate? If this has been discussed somewhere before I can't find it.

 

Also, would they have been yellow or white in the mid to late 1980s?

Google has not been my friend. 

 

Thanks, 

Pete

Don't have any dimensions but if you go thru some of the photos here:

you can see some different variations of the mules.

Thanks a million Jari. You always provide the best, most helpful and interesting information to everyone. I appreciate it very much. I bookmarked that webpage.

 

The Verlinden deck mules and tractors appear to be largely out of proportion. The Zoukeimura MD-3 details are more refined and subtle and is narrower than Verlinden. I'm still not sure which is more dimentially accurate but to my eye either one could look good.

Verlinden stuff being incorrectly sized isn’t shocking news.

Nope, not at all. Reminds me of Microsoft, "sell it to them now, we'll figure out how to fix it later".
