diecast reassurance...
« on: November 28, 2008, 01:46:31 PM »
before I commit to any more diecasts, can someone with a 1/48 or 1/50 scale lorry give me a quick measurement of it's width...

my new prize needs company, but I just need to make sure what I buy is going to be comparable and look right.... especially after my 1/43 faux paux

evilgiraffe - I hope that we're going to see your finished UNIT force when it's done. Great find on that vehicle!
