Who makes 1/56th pickup trucks?
« on: April 28, 2024, 08:58:20 PM »
Who makes 1/56th pickup trucks? I  FoA did, but they went OOP. Company B does... anyone else? Bonus poinrs if they are 70s/80s/90s style square bodies rather than modern ones.
Any pictures of how well the Majorette 1/55 diecast actually scale up would also be appreciated!

Empress makes this one:   https://www.empressminiatures.com/technical-vehicle-only-873-p.asp

Spectre makes these 2:  https://spectreminiatures.com/collections/civilian-vehicles/products/technical-alfa  and  https://spectreminiatures.com/collections/civilian-vehicles/products/technical-bravo

And Mantic made this one in their walking Dead line (I added the MG and gunner):





Miniature Building Authority makes this:  https://www.miniaturebuildingauthority.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MBALV-021A   I know it's not a pickup, but...

Thanks! All look to be around the 1/50th-1/48th range, but given differences in truck bed lengths/etc that might not notice

You will probably need to go 3D.

Rubicon only has M151 and trucks.

The scale difference can be very obvious:

Company B VW 82E (1/56); Tamiya VW 82E (1/48) and a die cast VW Beetle (1/43).

Thanks for that - and it certainly can be! Hoping though that I might get away with 1/56th & 1/50th mixed together as long as I don't have two scales for the same type of vehicle...
