Yes, that's true and they were supposed to have a certificate but I didn't get one.

Sadly, the next Luc Annaert Scania isn't due for release until later next year which is a real bummer. Sad

Scania V8. The best sounding truck in the world.

Paul,
I think only the ones sold by DHS (Diecast Hobby Shop) came with certificates. But I agree, a Sarens box and certificate with all models would have been nice.

As most of you might know, I like to have loads for my HH models and typical loads where possible. I have it on good authority that the Zaugg combination transported a CAT 365 with bucket so some kind soul sold me theirs. But the Norscot tracks are rubbish so I bought some replacement metals ones from Eric and they really are very nice!





I think it looks a great combination!

Conrad MAN TGS 8x4 with Palfinger - Felbermayr









Great little model and well built. Lacks some of the finer details of other models but Conrad have made small improvements - painted rear lights being one of them!

James,
No it is not, unless you want to drill out rivets.

WSI - MB Actros 8x4 solo in the livery of van der Meijden:













I have to say that this is one of my favourite liveries, which is quite a statement because when the Volvo was first announced I pretty much discounted it as being too plain!

I've been looking forward to this one and it has not disappointed! Apologies for the amount of pictures but I think this model deserves it!

Kübler MAN TGX and MB Titan with Scheuerle Intercombi + Load

The neck with some excellent graphics:

MAN TGX







Both trucks together



Scheuerle modules and load









The complete combination









Should also mention that the press foot load is very nicely made also!

Beautiful pictures of wonderful models, as usual. However:
1. WSI did a great job reproducing the photographs in 1:50
2. WSI did not choose to have the photographs applied to the 1:1 trucks
3. The photographs are very cool, but they belong on the website and not on the trucks.
4. I think they detract from an otherwise great model.

Looking on Kuebler's website to see the 1:1 equipment, I saw this awesome picture: Hairpin Heavy Haulage

After seeing GusO's pictures of the Colonia Actros, I decided that this model should also be in my collection. It is a beautiful looking truck!
