Gavin,
All machines in South America seem to be fitted with the Michelin XLDD tyres. They are personally my favourite too!

Three different types of tires shown here.
Gavs pic has Firestone, the bar grips, which actually have a "kink" in them are Bridgestone and the South American are Michelin.
All are 29.5 R29

Surprised no one is ripping on the 374, you know, since it doesn't have the "ME" tag, or Lights on the stick or above the cab, why does it have a cab guard? No quick coupler? Why no ripper tooth? Everyone's so quick to complain but can never enjoy...

Awww...but new ropes are so stiff!  At any rate, I still think we are looking at pre-production models. Good things come to those who wait! - Chris

Hi Lads, Can anyone confirm if that 374 is 1/50? Was just thinking that the lack of some details as mentioned by Tom, could be on account of scale rather than lack of thought. I was also thinking that the undercarriage and the the cab look suspiciously similar to the 1/64 385....but it could be just my eyes playing tricks on me. Cheers, Craig

Craig I have just browsed some retail outlets that are advertising this model already, including DHS, and they are all quoting 1:50th scale. Paul R

Craig It's 100% 1:50 scale. Do we have a plan for it already? If you do, I can't wait to see it! - Chris

No Brian and Gavin, I am not complaining, just seems there was zero feedback on the 374, I think it looks great but there will be the complainers.

Received my new 24M last week and I really like it alot. Much more detail than the previous 24H release. Better build quality to boot. Nicer flexible hose details, and to my surprise larger tires and wheels. I actually like this tread pattern, and now that the tires/wheels are larger on this new 24M, I will leave them as is.
