Hey chaps. A word of warning regarding the recent & ongoing reissues of the AMT & Ertl 1/25 trucks.
I bought the Peterbilt Wrecker for another project & the Ladder Chief just to see what the parts were like inside & it seems to be a mixed bag!.
The Ladder Chief looks good, parts look good for the most part, all Falcon donor parts there & unaltered as far as i can tell.
But the Wrecker parts seem to be altered or very soft on detail, not crisp like the original issues & decal sheet different too. Sometimes you also need the decals from these kits.
So i am very dubious now of these new reissues, not being straight reissues of their vintage predecessors!.
Another reminder to stick to my rule of only buy vintage issue kits, costly i know, but peace of mind knowing you will have crisp & original donor parts!.
Oh also...the newer Airfix repops of their older issues are very poor too, such as the 0/400, parts details very soft & need much cleaning up!.
Vintage...this is the way!
