PDH Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 In the November issue there is the first part of a two part series of articles on toy and model Claas Combines. Written by David Pullen. It states that there are over 60 different toy and model Claas combines have been produced. I assume the two articles will show most or all of these 60. In a separate article it confirms Corgi will be introducing a 'completely new range of 1/43rd scale tractors' in the second half of 2008.

I had coffee with Mike Forbes on Friday... he was saying it may not happen now.. as UH are bringing over their range of 1:43 models in the next few months \ - that was Mikes opinion I must stress.. not knowledge of Corgi's stance on the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how far Corgi have got with the moulds etc. However its one market (and is the fastest growing diecast sector at the current time) that Corgi haven't got a range for. If they produce implements as well then they could give UH a good run for their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 why bring out 1/43 stuff uh, you will sell a lot more in 1/32 especially the oldies , Just because they have them already Sean I guess... they did a series for that French mag ... they will retail at ?10-?11 I am being told \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 mmm guess so, just seems weird throwing another scale into the range like that, more cash in 32nd and 16th i would say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'd bet the mark up is good on those though mate... few parts.. all plastic I believe.... can only cost them a few pence to produce \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 and the models were paid for by Hatchette who commissioned them for their magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ownership was probably part of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
