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

Is that Mack FK, no longer avail. as kit, at all available?  One common prewar IH l found from Matchbox (need to post pictures yet) but few other prewar, at least no variety, larger model trucks , pre-1941. Matchbox or maybe by Ertl, need to look, Bulldog Mack, seems undersized, but l am using.  What else did Don Mills once offer? (Pre WW II)

Cancel above question!  Just researched Don Mills...

About 15 years ago this Ertl model was available in white with a blue cargo compartment. Easy to disassemble, modify, paint, etc.   John in Lansing, ILL

Thanks John you don’t have to I can see about what size it it nice fleet. I have a couple of these they would work well with O27 

Worked on the Mack FK tonight 

That Ertl model Mack AC was made with REA lettering in green. Wonder what prewar years the FK was contemporary?  That would really look good in a logging operation.

The Mack FK was made from 1938-41 it replace the AC and the AP

I started this trailer about a year ago I shortened a old Revell Tanker used plastic stripes on the sides added rear wheels from a Tamiya kit and added a Don Mills converter dolly. Today I added the decals it’s getting closer to being done. This will be a flatcar load. 

Very cool Lee'',  Love it..

Here's another Alabama State Trooper unit.  This one is a FORD Crown Vic custom built for LIONLMAN.

lee the FK is coming along nicely.  Is a fifth wheel coming down the pike?  Is the trailer from a Revell 1:48 or one of the larger scale kits?

Brian nice crossing.  And the light shining from the Manhattan Island Observation onto the Incandescent Lamp Co. is a great photo.

          thanks COACH JOE !!

Brian.  The KWs look nice. I like the white and gray striped one

Joe. Yes the fifth wheel be on soon I think I’m hooking it to a lowboy 

Does anyone know of a pre-war bus like this in 1/43 scale? Diecast or kit would be fine...

No Lee I don’t but thanks for posting it by the looks of it it must have a Diesel in it by the air cleaner and the heavier front axle and the hood is extended. More than likely it has a 4 cylinder Detroit Diesel. Us old truckers called them 4 banger Jimmys

Lee,  Closest I've seen are those used as tour buses in national parks in the western states.  I think they are models of White buses.  John in Lansing, ILL

What I'm looking for is a bus more like a school bus, pre-war, with a central aisle going down the middle and a roof on top. I'm very surprised it doesn't seem that anybody makes anything like that that I can find
