The (original) model is missing the funnel to fill the drum

👍 True. After reading this I wanted to give it a go and try making my own version.

 

This is it. I redesigned part of the original chute in order to have both a platform with folding ladder on the side, and a feed hopper on the top. Both feeding and discharging work without problems.

I have added a cosmetic pipeline connecting the water tank with the back end of the drum.

Looks like it belongs there, good job, I really like the idea of the tubing as well.

:classic: Thanks!

Even by Technic standards I was appalled by the turning circle of this truck, so I modded it with drastically improved steering angle, lowered the engine so it's not coming right up between the seats and gave it a tilting cab. Admittedly the tilting cab doesn't really look like any tilting cab I've ever seen, but at least you can see in underneath now :)
