Craig: The Mack tanker is an IXO 1/43 scale model. I have a tractor only. Chuck has one listed but out of stock.
Mack has showed up with other trailers over last 2 years.

Craig,
In the beginning, I was quite suspicious with this range of models but I have to confess that IXO models are pretty well made for the price you pay: to summarize, lots of detail and overall accuracy.
As you said, the problem remains its scale, but it seems that the range is picking-up quite a lot within 1/43 car modellers in Europe lately: days when Eligor was one of the very few companies producing 1/43 French truck models are gone and far behind us.
I hope this helps.
Guy

Craig: Try to find a decent Mack B61 model tractor for the same price. I am satisfied with the level of detail for the price.
I don't have room for tractor/trailer sets so tractors only are what I but and display.
I have purchased several IXO models and all are very nice for the price.
