FenderMender Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 These three Maisto 1/24 scale 1948 Ford F-1 pickup trucks date from about seven or eight years ago to the present. The red one is the oldest followed by the orange and black Harley Davidson version from five years past roughly. What is curious about them is the red was made in Thailand and the two H-Ds were made in China. However, the current matte black H-D version features straight metal axles with non-steerable front wheels whereas the other two have the flexible front axles that steer. All units were modified to include either carpeting or rubber mats, painted interior door panels, finished faux wood plastic floor beds , detailed chassis with painted engines, exhaust pipes and exhaust pipe extensions of aluminum tubing. The matte black version had its rims painted black. All had their rear-view mirrors detailed too, as Maisto had molded these as clear plastic and a part of the windshield. By the way, the red truck's motorcycle is a super cheap generic that was all chrome! I did what I could to make it somewhat realistic. Thanks for looking... 1
