I wonder if the signwriter can scale their output down by a factor of 32? I know that wraps are done in 1:14 for the RC stuff, and a long time ago Rob Neesham had a guy sorting out the pattern so that it'd be possible to wrap the Siku Scania, but I never heard if it was successfully done. I have done builds in the past where I've just used a waterslide decal as a wrap, with slits cut in the correct places, it can be effective, but it's very difficult. The move with supplying the different roofs is odd, presumably its just three different castings that bolt onto the main cab frame, but it still seems strange for such a small market, especially to release them all at once. It has been written in a magazine, I'm not sure which, that Marge plan to release 8 trucks, but it doesn't specify if that is 8 different brands, or 8 iterations. If iterations that'd be the Volvo 6x2 and 4x2, then the Merc 6x2 and 4x2 in the three different cabs to bring you to 8. If however it's 8 different manufacturers then its exciting and expensive times ahead for 1:32 trucking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 There's been a few mentions across the web about Marge not doing a bulker trailer too and honestly I doubt they will, or at least not the Fruehauf/Wilcox bathtub and smooth sided styles you see in the UK. Simply because of the same reason you don't see UK farm machinery, Marge is a European company, and bulkers aren't as common in Europe, tipper trailers are generally half pipe designs, and walking floors and tankers are more commonly used for a wider variety of materials than they are here. I imagine a tipping trailer will come, and provide a great base for conversion, but it won't look anything like what you'd see day in day out on the M6.

Tractorman810 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 could be, not sure how easy just converting the current one would be, most dashboards now seem to be modular, they just saw the dash unit with the passanger airbag unit, not much esle alters .not really had a chance to look properly at the volvo yet to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be making mine rhd when I find time and will more than likely cast the new dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 just a bit looking at it ,its just dash and peddles? maybe wipers the other way round,. as much as we wish they will, i doubt that the could make it cost effective for a small market like ours, needs a james to work his magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
