AnthonyWan Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Do any of the car modelers out there know if there was ever a 1/24 or 1/25 (not sure what is more common in car scales) Chevy Silverado that I might be able to adapt to make these? http://flickr.com/photos/defensorfortis/15...57594112929576/ http://flickr.com/photos/defensorfortis/15...57594112929576/ Dually: http://flickr.com/photos/defensorfortis/15...57594112929576/ Thanks =Awan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devil505 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Will this do it? I've built a few of these and they came out nice...Little fit issues with the bed but otherwise ok. http://i3.iofferphoto.com/img/1155538800/_i/13655484/1.jpg Edited December 20, 2008 by devil505 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a bit of an earlier model, but with the mods I'll probably make to it, it won't be noticeable Are these hard to find? =Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Tech Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Awan, those look like '07 or '08 models in those pics - don;t see any reason you couldn't use that '99 truck to build one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Not a lot out there for current trucks. In 1/24-25 you have a couple of late 80, early 90s Fords, a 96 Dodge and Chevy and then the '99 Chevy and that is about it. Diecast adds a lot of options for newer trucks, Maisto has a lot of decent late model trucks that don't cost too much. I prefer plastic but diecast works, you just need to use CA glue or epoxy to attach stuff. Civilian trucks are very under represented in 1/35 or even 1/32, it would be nice to be able to do a Toyota or Nissan technical, and now the Big 3 seem to be getting into the armed truck thing too.
