Mr mopar Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 A Volvo vn880 with an engine italeri are you listening ?
Thatswhatshesaid Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Didnt Volvo quit producing these because they were a slow seller? I remember it being their venture into the 'conventional' market.
Custom Hearse Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I know they were having electrical problems in the sleeper. I drove several different Volvo's and each one would have something wrong with it.
Mr mopar Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Volvo killed it because it was to heavy , this is what I read but I still think it would be a cool model kit.
BigBad Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 We could even simplify their work... Lets have a reissue of the VN670 or 780 with an engine and poseable front wheels. But any recent truck would be welcome such as the 880.

Thatswhatshesaid Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 All the Volvos had problems. Bunk heaters were an issue and something to do with the steering due to the set back axle. I even heard of a dash falling into a guys lap while he was driving.
marcay Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 juste a Mack Pinnacle!!! it belong to Volvo group now
Luc Janssens Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Italeri is listening or back in touch with the market, because their all new Iveco Stralis kit, again has an engine included, long live the "old concept" kits! ;^)
chuckyr Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 You are more likely to see an 880 as a resin kit than from Italeri. Italeri will offer a totally new American subject. But not announce it before 2014 at the earliest.

That would be fine with me ,I like working with resin kit , as far as a new American subject goes I can't see them doing anything else then a Peterbilt.

I've gotten the impression that the next one will be a Freightliner, Western Star or a trailer.
Mr mopar Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 I've gotten the impression that the next one will be a Freightliner, Western Star or a trailer. That would be ok, a Freightliner conventional ?
marcay Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 sure, I take what's com in US really truck thanks Robert ,I agree thierry
chuckyr Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 That would be ok, a Freightliner conventional ? Italeri will not offer a cabover. They are only interested in representing typical American type trucks.
Chuck Most Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Italeri will not offer a cabover. They are only interested in representing typical American type trucks. Hopefully not with an atypical generic type chassis this time...
george 53 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I'd STILL like to see a Kenworth T-2000. Personally I think it's a BEAUTIFUL truck, too bad it was discontinued!
blazefox Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 I'd like to see a plastic 1950 ford cabover kit or that or a 50s dodge cabover kit from revell
carsntrucks4you Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Eisenhauer X2 or Eisenhauer Freigther would be a great model kit.
