THarrison351 Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I've had this for quite awhile. I brought it back with me from Canada. I had a white one to start with, but when I took it out of the box, the mirror I couldn't see, was broken off. So, I went back to WalMart and got this red one. I just did a little painting and polishing. There was a lot of stray black paint on the red. It would have been nice to have the rear doors open, but what do you expect for $10. Before pictures: After paint and polish:
heyjohnxx Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 How does this scale out? I'd be interested in it if it was really 1/25th scale. Length should be 9 1/8 inches or so.
Gramps46 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Good looking truck there and ready for some serious off roading with those tires.
THarrison351 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Posted April 5, 2020 I believe it falls somewhere closer to 1/27. It's only a little over 8 1/2 inches long
heyjohnxx Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Thanks. This and the Colorado would be more interesting to me as 1/25
kilrathy10 Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 You cleaned it up very well... It looks great... I would have loved to see it in 1/24 scale, myself, but as you stated, $10 is too hard to pass up.... It really is a great looking replica... Just 1/27 scale... Sucks, but... I hope Norscot does one...
THarrison351 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Posted April 9, 2020 As far as the scale is concerned, I've come to the conclusion, this is all about fitting the box the diecast is shipped in. They will make the model smaller even if it's a smaller scale to keep all those cheesy cardboard boxes they're shipped in the same size. It's a shame too. First off the cars and trucks are different scales and second the box provides no protection for the mirrors. I've returned several with broken mirrors after removing them from the box. At least M2 Machines has a plastic perimeter and thicker cardboard. I've never had a damaged car, just poorly assembled ones.
