Hooray!

There is some fantastic stuff there I didn't know I needed until now.

Brilliant, thanks.

Great find  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:  I've been looking for a source of 1/72 vehicles in resin or plastic.
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

Me too!  Some great airfield accessories in there. 

Here is the link to the ordering page, a bit pricey at about 35 Euro for the typical airfield support truck/set, but they look great.

A Snow Cruiser?  In The One True Scale™?  Oh wow, that is just too absurd not to purchase!

At the price it's likely to be, I may not have any choice about resisting... :rolleyes:

It would be funny to have it half-buried in the snow, being found by a British Antarctic Survey team... :wacko:  Maybe the chunk of ice it floated away on got blown back to land further along the coast by some freak of oceanography?

I just wish they had more school bus choices.  Not every school or apron bus in America is a Type B/C.  Or Ford. :angry:

Heh...  ;D:thumbsup:

You could have a little ring of actually viable snow vehicles gathered around it like a wake: wide-tracked snow-cats, aerosans, skidoos etc... :wacko:

Now that would be something special! A couple of AA or RAC  Track Rovers towing it in to "the nearest qualified garage"

But they only had 10 to start with, and it says 'temporarily out of stock'. There's hope yet.

But note the kit doesn't include the Staggerwing............

The shape is simple so a scratchbuild would be straightforward.
The wheels/tires would be the only difficult part, however
it's probable that one could find something from the flying model
world that would work. All in it would a whole lot cheaper than
€150.00.
