Thanks for the review! The detail on these dump trucks is quite good, as I would expect from First Gear. However, if TWH (out of business, unfortunately) had made this model, it likely would have had even greater detail (including full cab interior details), with more working features, including opening cab doors, operating suspension, opening lower tailgate door, operating dump bed arms & tarp, scale & operating pintle, operating "air ride" seat suspension, & maybe a few other operating features. I suppose the cost of the model (if made by TWH) with all the details & operating features, might have been around $60.00 - $80.00 more, based on what I remember of the cost comparisons between TWH's models & say, Norscot's models (which were basically good quality models, but with "average" detail & functionality). The additional cost amount for TWH models, considering the amazing detail & operating features of TWH models, seemed to me to be a reasonable value. Sometimes, TWH models would go be sold at discount prices, which made for an even better value. The only issue I had with TWH's models was that sometimes the quality control on the models was not so good (the model design was excellent, but I noticed that sometimes there were issues with the factory assembly of the models). With that said, these First Gear models do seem quite good, but I think they might should be priced somewhat lower (based on the limitations of detail & operating features) than what I have seen listed online by model retailers.
Awesome rigs, awesome models! Thanks, Logan.
Glad you like them! I have to agree and I'm not a big 50th scale fan!
Will they produce in 164 Scale.
unlikely since 1/64th scale is not a military scale, but if we make enough noise we might be able to convince them to make it.
Thanks for the review!
