Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them

All the kits that everybody is posting is starting to pique my interest at trying my hand at one. There’s more to that which I’ll put in a follow-up post to provide some context.

Found some ice diecast this past weekend at the Renninger’s train meet!

MTH Trailways bus! Might not seem too special but it’s a nice, realistic, non-geographically tied bus-as opposed to the Lionel by Corgi coach and the Eastern Michigan Yellow Coach( it replaced the later).

Was very excited to find these next two at $10 each!- Solido 1/50 Kaiser Jeep

Victoria(Vitesse) 1/43 United States Army Hummer

all came boxed, which was nice. Especially for the Solido since it had the decals, instructions for placement, and the 2 soldiers

from eBay, arrived last week. Found this at a BIN much below what I normally see it at and had to bite. Corgi Classics Mobile Police Column:

Last pic for now- shout out to @Quarter Gauger 48 , @mike g. And @JDFonz for helping with this! Got the tires for my 623 Dinky Army Wagon off eBay from the seller you recommended- love it more than I thought I would! The soldiers fit nicely and IMO looks right at home behind the 670 armoured car. Thanks a bunch, guys!

Thats all I was able to snap pics of this morning. Expect more to come!

Hi Steve, glad to see you got some tires for your rig. I found it amazing that even with the age of these old dinkys and corgis, that parts are still available.

I like that display especially the B Mack. Thanks for sharing

My next aerial ladder is a B Mack. It will complement the B Mack pumper I already have.

Steve, great looking scene!

Paul, sure is a sharp looking Town & Country! I love how you do your night scenes!

David, Great fire engine display, looks like you have enough engines for a 2 alarm fire!

Nothing new from me but was wondering if Joel and got your plates yet and if so are they the right size?

Hi Mike, just got the plates today. They almost look a little big but I’m going to trim them down as much as possible and then look closer at them. Thanks Buddy!

im currently Peking on two items, a corgi Triumph Herald, and a dinky fire truck. I’ll keep you all posted.

🐰 Happy Good Friday to all'.

I'm sitting here looking at a  beautiful Dinky European style Fire Engine that was restored by Mike G, Forum member'.  This surprise came early this morning  in the mail .  What a nice surprise 😲 it was to receive an unexpected package containing this terrific little gem.

Mike did a great deal of work on this Dinky, and as his first restore performed a phenomenal job.  Thank you Mike for such a nice Easter present'...😀👍

Ted, I am glad you got it and you like it! I hope it will fit in well on your layout!

my tracteur is almost ready for paint

Cor

thanks

Cor

Cor, your first truck looks sharp! But man that second truck has way to many parts for me! LOL Good luck and cant wait to see the finished product!

This is for JDFONZ,  Joel, I finally got my 3.5MM jewels. They fit perfect on the Dinky's and Corgi's and look great'...
