justy 46 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I take back what i said about the MF 230 not being in 1/32. [The 240 will do me fine in 1/32. No pics were posted of the 240 when i posted that comment. Want one. DBP models will have to drop the price of there 240 bigtime to compete with UH one tough. David Purdue must not have seen this coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Phew... at last... the suspense has been killing me... the 240 was indeed Mavis... and the 230 is also born from this measurement... I'm not sure that the front grill is wrong... but time will tell when we can compare it against the real thing - It looks to be bloody good to me... and as you can imagine.. I'll be a little bit keen to get my sweaty hands on one or two of those for sure As for a 135QD... sadly... although the cab was made by the same maker (Cabcraft of Wolverhampton)... they are different in quite a few areas.... the front screen (as Sean said) and the wingtops especially. It just won't make a 135QD ... you'll just have to wait for the real one to come out I reckon Well done UH... You've made an old man VERY happy * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky just out of curiosity, what is the time scale on the first thought on making a 240, to measuring it etc and then to now? It depends on the urgency mate... they CAN turn things around pretty quickly I believe.. but as a genreal rule of thumb it's a good 12 months minimum I'd say... It was a good while ago that Mavis was given the once over.. it's been like waiting for Christmas for me :D Roll on release date that's all I can say :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think I might even get the 240 - it'll be like owning a little piece of history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nothing new with the MF 240 and UH! DBP has been making one of these for a while! So many masseys to choose from but lets choose one thats already being made by a small uk model maker (and a very good one at that) I personally think UH models are great and have lots of them in my collection, BUT is an independant model maker like Dave really a threat to UH? I think not SO LEAVE THEM ALONE and get on with coming up with some original ideas and make good models of them! The only problem with your argument mate is the price, those DBPs left go for £200 (not always Dave's choice I am sure) whereas this one will be circa £30-40 I imagine, plus Dave can't do anywhere near the numbers UH could, I agree the quality is unsurpassed though.

With ya there. Im sure Daves model is outstanding,but for such a small model its unafordable for lots of collectors unless you really love your Masseys and what it badly. I still admire lots of Daves Countys & Fords which are very desirable & i hope to get a few of em some day. But im going to take UHs example for the simple fact of value for money for now.
