I've seen pictures in a book on b model macks and they have so many variants in chassis rails. Some b61 macks had a dm600 style chassis. Ben

I'm going to get the revell 1970 convertible to get the parts from. Thanks Foxer and Miles. Ben

I'm not sure what versions they released in Australia. I think you're right Foxer. It looks more 1970 to me as well looking at pictures. Cheers Ben

I'm replicating a 1968 vw beetle in 1/24 and the engine cover on the real thing has air vents. I'm using the revell 1/24 1968 beetle and its engine cover is smooth. What would be the best way to replicate the air vents? I was thinking scribing them in. Cheers Ben

Very nice. Ben

Nice work. I should play with mynp 1/16 pete. Ben

Nice project. Ben

Vey nice. Ben

The biggest killer for me is the study I'm doing at the moment. Can't wait for this week to be over. Then I shoukd be able to play with my models. Ben

3D printing might be the answer. Ben

Looks great. Love the wheels. What number are the wheels in the catalogue? Ben

Very nice. Ben

This is a quote from Bruce Hay on model truck builders from around the world facebook page. It's still happening. . Aren't there some experts on the post... Drake have many Diecast project in development at present as well as the kits. Where other companies have a project development team Drake just have one which is me. The original plan was to produce and release both kits together but that now seams unlikely. The hold up is the K200. We have suitable data to produce the model in 1/50 scale which has limited amount of detail but is not good enough to reproduce a 1/24 version. I have seen the 3D drawings and was not happy with it. I want to down scale a 1:1 scale truck to 1:24 not upscale a 1/50 toy to 1/24 scale. If we did that we would never hear the end of it from the all the rivet counters if something is a mm out of shape. So while we wait for a 3D drawing of a chassis from PACCAR engineering and PACCAR to get approval from the diff, gearbox etc manufacturers to supply us with 3D drawings of the components we will continue with the trailer, which the factory tell me will be available to display at the Brisbane trucks next month.

Is that a 1000? Ben

Wow. Tamiya is doing more this year for car people than they have in the last few years. Great stuff. Ben

Thanks, that looks great. Ben

Hi fellas. I've got my tamiya gullwing. What's the best method of doing chrome window surrounds? I was thinking bare metal foil. Ben

Got my tamiya mercedes 300sl gullwing. Ben

Nice. I've got an LJX and a51. Ben

Great start. Will be watching. Ben

Thanks for sharing. Ben

That looks awesome. Will be watching. Ben

Very nice. Ben
