G'day John,

The difference between 24th & 35th is quite noticeable.  You'd be better served trying to find a 32nd scale truck which wouldn't be as bad.  There are 35th scale pickups and the like but they are resin kits and horrendously expensive.

And even 1/32 is about 10% bigger than 1/35.

What kind of truck are you looking for specifically? Something military or civilian?

[batmancustoms]

danget , was thinking that.

Thanks so much buddys.

Was wanting  a civilian Truck. Like a tow truck.  Then convert into a gun truck.

I know you can get several military trucks in injection in 1:35 - maybe use one of those as a base, and convert it?

Ther are some 1/32nd scale trucks around, Snap-tites from Monogram/Revell and older AMT/ERTL,
along with Monogram/Revell Snap-Tite Fire engines.

AMT Snap-Fast Ford F-150 1/32nd, I have one assembled and ready for mods, its not bad.

I see from your website that you modify diecasts a lot, there are a few civil trucks available as 1/32 diecasts.
