I can't stand operators in my models Joe, so if they go down that route I won't be buying them, not unl ess they are easy to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Can see some of the diorama builders welcoming a few bits of kit with drivers/operators, but for those that like to just display their models it could be a bit off putting, to some folk they like the challenge of getting a driver into the cab, but with these it might be a case of the challenge to get them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I suspect there will be a fair few of the drivers on eBay. I am a bit like Chris, for a boxed model or shelf display I wouldn't want a figure . with luck they have opening doors to make removing them easy. Would buy some for the layout if they have, quick repaint etc, hopefully they will be pretty detailed going by the models pics ,and maybe we will see different poses like climbing into the cab ? Stuff like that as you do see that in the 1/50th stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I get working lights if they are rc models, but on a static model like these that's kind of pointless ?? Would sooner have opening doors ,bonnets stuff like that on them . They also seem to e aiming high as they seem to be doing every model in each item going by the list, 3 or 4 of them loaders look identical bar model numbers to me ??

Aye Sean,all a bit pointless,and same model different colours,we've all been there,but these guy's take it to another level,basically two models 100's of colours,?? http://thedrakeshop.com/products/diecast-models/kenworth-models And,check those prices,!!

COWBOY Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It's great to see another company making models with such high levels of detail on them. I have the 407c telehandler without the driver, it's a great model but opening doors would be good to give the collector the option of putting one in if they wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I see that wheeled loader is available now,not in the UK yet,but shouldn't be long now,http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=201532012211&_sacat=0 Regards Joe.
