First Gear is such a great company. I own many of them.

These Fords have just been produced. And with the plastic kits usually more money than what you can buy these for it seems like a great deal. Christmas is coming!

First gear makes great models, and I try to get them when I can. Their 1/25 scale is something they started on about 10 years ago and it is starting to take off. Originally only the rigs were done in 1/25, then they started to make 1/25 muscle cars. They also made a great 1/25 scale dodge ram van, short wheelbase. Search for one of those vans on google images or ebay they have great working doors.These are my two 68 C-10's that came out a couple years ago.

My dad bought a '75 in that exact color combo in November of '75. It had a 360 with a three on the tree. He was rough on it, especially for a new pickup. Even as a kid, I would complain about how he treated it. He would always say, "I bought it to use it, not to look at it!" I have an AMT '73 F350 that I plan to build a replica with. Maybe with Moebius doing the '71, they will also give us an F150 from that generation.

I have that van too, its great. I always go to Ebay and go to diecast vehicles then type in 1/25. I am always looking to add models that compliment my plastic. Welly of China does some great 1/25 scale and 1/24 scale all are less than 20.00 and hare very well detailed. Try their website out, look at all the cars they make. First Gear also has a pretty good site too to check back on as well.

Thanks, I do have a few diecast. You have to watch the Welly cars, some are only 1/26 and smaller. They don't have the detail I want in diecast but could be fun to modify if they have something you're into.
