Very trivial question?

I've been a long time collector of farm models. The picture on the left below is of a Hamilton models Allis Chalmers D14 tractor with mounted front cultivator. The fenders on this model are much higher than anything I've ever seen. The pic on the right below is of the real thing and you can see that he fenders are quite a bit lower, closer to the tire. The rear tires on the model also don't appear large enough although I know that Allis equipped the D14 with either 11-26 or 12-26 tires from the factory and larger tires could be made to fit. Does anyone know if Allis offered high fenders like those on the model? I think I'll pass on this one but am still interested. Thanks. PS. You can see the fenders on the model are as high as the hood although on the real tractor the fenders are lower than the hood.

i would assume your model was suppose to be a HIGH CROP tractor with 38 inch tires instead of 26 inch... Those fenders would go with the BIG tires.

In doing a little research I find that there was a " High Clearance" version of the D14 & D15 with larger diameter rear tires. I found an old post where the poster said their D15 had high fenders and large tires. The true "High Crop" (reportedly) only existed in the D17/D19 lines. Thanks for your suggestion though. I've decided to pass up on this model as it is something that never really existed.
