Ford truck in 1/72
Hanno,
That truck looks really neat. I fancy getting one from Hannants (Model Shop) in the UK.
What a shame they did not do the kit in 1/35. Which makes me think - does it cost much less to design a mould for a 1/72 kit as it does for 1/35 or does it cost about the same? OK the amount of plastic used is greater but with some really detailed kits in 1/72 scale you wonder. And haven't some manufacturers scaled up or down kits that they knew would be a success in a new scale?
Let's hope Bill Murray has some good news for us from a manufacturer willing to take the CMP in 1/35 - without us paying over the odds for the kit when & if we get it. That why I like Italeri - they don't cost the earth.
The quest goes on.
