Great truck! 1:87 - it's strage scale. You are from UK?

I'm from Latvia. No one makes Iveco-Magirus in any scale except this, the model was fine, doesn't cost a million, so I've bought it, looks ok together with Henschel Tankspritze and Oshkosh HEMTT M977 in 1/87 also.

 

PS: Englishmen prefer 1/76, wait for Landrover 1ton FC Ambulance, fresh pack from AirFix, made in India. Looks very promising, the whole cabin is of clear plastic, will be easy to paint, not this Herpa's pain in ass - semiassembled model with clear one-piece window put inside one-piece cabin that is impossible to disassemble, therefore the painting of window's borders with black was a real nightmare in complexity.

 

Thanks for your interest.

I don't like this english scales...

I ignore scales. For me only the quality of model and the potential joy of modelling it is important. So my collection of kit boxes vary from 1/9 (Revell bike) to 1/700 (noname chinese kit of soviet 956-project ship - I got it as present, so no stress about my statement regarding quality models ).

Hmmm, very impressive collection! Do you have any Sherman tank or somthing american from second world war?

I don't like Shermans, but couldn't resist buying M-40 Big Shot 1/35 AFV Club, based on later Shermans. May be evacuation and recovery vehicle based on Sherman, some day.

I'll be waiting...
