These are coming to Australia too in turbo 4 and V8 only. Holden (GM) should have brought the Camaro to Australia as well. They're going to sell like hot cakes.

It's sarcastically called the "Australia tax". We Australians get stung way too much for cars. It's the way it is. He'd already signed the contract when the car failed on the show room floor. Seriously, I'm getting such poor service at the moment with my wife's car we are not purchasing another one from the certain company and dealerships we got it through. Considering we bought 3 new cars through them the treatment is really below par.

Looks pretty nice to me. Got to produce trucks that the majority likes though. I loved the look of those bussing and Krupp trucks. Never built one though. Some friends of mine have built them and they are top notch parts fit wise, etc.

I've seen a few "mackifications" of the Italeri chassis. Usually just mack crossmembers added, but I've also seem the chassis altered to look like an r series chassis by trimming the front area down to look like amt r series rails. Looks very convincing. The superliner kits look good with australian gear put on them such a s aircleaners. Hides the inaccurate dimensions of the cab pretty well.

Something I found. http://www.spencer1984.com/my_models/aoe-optimus-prime.php
I reckon moebius wheels would look better for replacements.
Also emailed Italeri re 5700 and they responded. It wasn't computer generated either which surprised me. Cheers.
