Ok, truckers, listen up! Over at Truckmodeler.com, Dan Poulin has a poll up until the end of the month concerning Italeri's proposed new releases. Apparently Italeri cares what we think! Isn't that refreshing. They want to know what new truck models (with new tooling) we want to see. Right now the Kenworth T660 leads the Latest Generation Highway Aero Tractors category, the Kenworth W900L leads the Latest Generation Highway Classic Hood Tractors category, and the Mack Granite leads the Latest Generation Vocational Truck category. So go vote!!!

Thanks, Scott. For some reason when I past links they only seem to work about 1/2 the time. I don't get it.

Did you vote?

I've voted (yes, I do the occasional truck kit.. ), but I'm in quite a minority it seems. The Volvo is not very popular. But considering that this is of course primarily a North American market research, that is understandable.

Cheers

I don't normally do civilian vehicles but I did take the opportunity to provide feedback. I do a lot of kit reviews etc of all different types and trucks do get my attention.

Kelly,

Are you talking about the International Paystar 5000 snow plow? This one:

http://www.danmodeltruckworld.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=83&pos=13

I found the post describing it on another board. The International Paystar 5000 is from the AMT kit, and the rest is scratch built.

AMT made a Ford LNT8000 snow plow truck several years ago. You can sometimes find them on eBay, but expect to pay big money for them.

If you haven't already done so, post a message on the board or on this one :

Sometimes people have them in their stash, and might be willing to part with one.

Good luck.

Jim
