Also opens the door for more trim levels, when doing badges separately. IIRC Archer had or has a range of 3d decals for railroad or military modelers, IMHO an interesting path to look into.

Hmm, would also be nice behind a certain Peterbilt truck 😉. How's that DVD thingy working Ragtop Man?

It all boils down to buying power, who buys plastic model kits of automotive subject matter. Sort the customers by age, preference and expected lifespan 😉

You're not alone.

I can imagine.

Wonder if this trailer is period correct, cuz it kinda looks so. If the Kat's at Round2 can make it happen before the holidays of '26 this would be a neat combo to put under the Christmas tree. But do like the dump truck Scott showed here, IMHO also a great possible sibling for Round2 to look into 😉 Cheers!

A pitty tho, a kit of a Mk1 Capri would be nice. Cheers

Pure speculation on my part, but if DModels and Decalcas are one and the same company, then maybe the IXO diecast model it would be based on, needs too many changes to scale up to 1/24th scale, Also unlike the Sierra there are no OEM CAD files to fall back on. Again pure speculation...

It all boils down to buying power, who buys plastic model kits of automotive subject matter. Sort the customers by age, preference and expected lifespan. If subject matter here discussed seems to fit into high sales potential and longevity I'm sure they will look into it. Personally I think of this forum as a think tank, throwing ideas around, which for me is as much fun as breaking the seal on a new kit. My 2 cents Cheers.

I feel your pain, Tim. But it's not our money on the line, so I understand ( up to a point) why (some) model kit manufacturers take this route. Cheers Luc

🤣

Interesting.

No, only other kit I know of is the Otaki one. They did one in 1/24th scale, motorized as per Japanese standard back then and also one in 1/12th. Added info: Seems LS had one in 1/20th scale too, but never saw that one in person.

Christian is making a cultural joke here. As the French always say "À l'aise" cuz the further south you go the less stress...so Q4 can easily morph into Q1 😉 Tho Germans while Pünktlich do have a somewhat similar saying, "Immer mit der ruhe" And this concludes todays language/cultural lesson, Ha! Now back to the regular program.

Fusionfirm liquid silver to the rescue then I suppose. BTW Barbatos Rex has a video which is still in the pipeline, of a clear coat that won't hurt chrome paints when coated by this product, which would be awesome when applying a wash or other detailing.
