PDH Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Heller have announced that in the second quarter 2018 they intend to release the following kits - 81402 MASSEY FERGUSON 2680 1/24 Scale 81702 VOLVO F12-20 GLOBE TROTTER & CONTAINER SEMI TRAILER 1/32 Scale 81703 VOLVO F12-20 GLOBE TROTTER & TWIN-AXLE SEMI TRAILER 1/32 Scale 81704 VOLVO F12-20 & TIMBER SEMI TRAILER 1/32 Scale I think the MF is a re-release of the Humbrol Bobcat model from the 1980's and the Volvo's could be re-releases of the old Esci kits that many of us have looked for for a long while without much success. Humbrol Bobcat releases a Volvo F12 in the 1980's, Ive not seen one of these so cannot tell whether it was orginally Esci. The trailers are most certainly orginally Esci kits. Good to see these available again. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 A very good week for 1/32 truck fans! Plenty of potential in these kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 my absolute no knowledge of trucks,the list above,any of these trailers bulk trailers,if so I would be interested,nice trucks in 1/32 but I cant seem to see any 1/32 bulk trailers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm afraid not Paul, but the trailer chassis provides a super base for an old school bulk trailer, Daminen @JCB BLOKE did a great tipper model using one, sadly the photos are no longer on the forum.

Paul Palmer Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 thanks for the info James,thats a pity,as a lorry with a bulk trailer would fit into my layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yes, unfortunately as far as truck models on a whole go a bulk tipper is fairly niche. Having said that most of marges posts on facebook contains comments asking if they will be doing a tipper so time will tell as the demand appears to be there.

JEP Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hopefully a good indicator they are due soon. When annouced earlier in the year, it went to the top of my "wants" list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I emailed a wholesaler in The Netherlands to see if they knew when the Volvos are coming. They say they have received no information from Heller regarding due dates. They will email me when this changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEP Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Wonder if there will be any updates on the Volvo F12's next week? Hope they haven't been shelved, was looking forward to buying a couple of the old Volvos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The Volvo's have now hit the shelves, although browsing eBay it would appear they have only got as far as German dealers so far so I assume they are still on the road to UK dealers.

Stabliofarmer Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I look forward to seeing what you do with it! Out of interest did you order from Germany, all the postage prices seemed high from the sellers I could find, or had you pre ordered with a UK distributor?

SPN Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Go Dinny. First out of the traps. I emailed the wholesaler in Holland and he hasn't seen them yet. He reckons that if they are available in Germany then he should have them within a week to ten days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Dan Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Very nice. Looks like the little bottles of paint came with it? Something I have never seen in a model kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
