youngtiger1 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hey Gang, I was doing a quick research on trailers and found this little bit of clip showing a cool truck and trailer diecast model in 1/50. I will love to have something like this in regular 1/24 scale as a kit. Anyway, i hope you guys will enjoy it....I know I did.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 That's a TWH diecast. Expeeeeensive!!!!!!!! I own a couple different rigs from them. They are by far, the best diecast in that scale!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngtiger1 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yeah, I just saw the price myself. I didn't realize diecast models can cost that much. The complete setup of the tractor/trailer over $350...wow is right!! I wouldn't mind building one in 1/24. Looks totally cool with that extra bumper and lights.

FIREMODELMAN Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Very nice, but to rich for my blood. It does have awesome details, and would be super huge in 1/25 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewaskew Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Yea there at the top of the list for the detail in 1/50 scale. As far as the cost of one of these it will get very high in 1/24 1/25 scale also. You would pretty much need one of there's to get the details for the bigger trucks right. OR do a LOT of research and you still may miss something you cant see in a photo. You may be able to build one for around $500.00 by the time you by the 1/24 1/25 scale truck all the tires,plastic to scratch build it. And also the scratch building skills to jump on something like this. However you would have a very nice rig and a rare one on top of that. Then you could sell it to some serious collector or big company and get your money back with some profit. Just a thought.
