Kenneth, thanks for that evalution on those pickups. I bought a few
and found them quite nice also. I also have several of the PBL model
Fords that are even smaller in size and a couple of those Efsi things
that Heimberger was selling, equally smallish. The real problem comes
when you put them next to those Hartoy large trucks that we all have.
I found it interesting that the Yat Ming trucks seem to either have an
opening hood or one opening door, depending on model. I think this
feature is interesting to pose vehicles in gas stations, repair shops
and of course ripping them apart for junked vehicles. I used to get a
kick out of that as a kid and still enjoy some moderate destruction once
in a while (yes I know they have doctors for that!). Have you tried
reversing the whitewalls instead of painting them?
