Fantastic looking model (as always with the 1/87 brass models).
I'd really like to know how they make those tires. They look so damn realistic.

The tires are a cast rubber compound, I believe.

I would be surprised if it was that high, the white version will command a bit more than the yellow.

The 797, albeit over 10 years ago was just $597.00, a 789 is half the size of a 797 so factoring in a bit of inflation etc i reckon you will find the 789 will be $789.00

5230 has a lot more production cost than the truck would, i will say no way to it being around the $1k mark but like you say we will see.
