Thanks Ron,
The Hobby Fan catalog gave an error message on the M51 dump truck (item nr HF-055), but I found it through a
review site. Boy did I get a shock. Out of this world too long: 180 US$ for a 1:35 resin model. There is one on eBay for 70 Eur. Both are a bit too much for me, even as a present to my 5-year old grandson. For myself, I'd like to put one together, but prefer to look at a picture on the wall and spend the 180 bucks on restoring the original.
Looking a bit further it turns out that Real Model also has an
M51 for 90 EUR. Real Model is a
Czech company, so if I find time soon I will get in touch with that guy and see what can be done.
Another question. Sometimes the adds say
full kit, sometimes
conversion kit. Full kit probably means that the entire truck is in the box in parts. Conversion kit means.....????? Conversion from regular truck to something like model of once existing trucks adapted in the field? Prices do not differ that much.
