The model looks really nice. I have no doubt that these will sell quite well.

How about a 1950s FWD dump truck with a snow plow?

That Autocar would also make a nice tandem dump truck.

You did a great job with the Hayes HD 400 dump truck,
But what about a 70's Kenworth W900 with a flatbed?-Bill

Not really a highway truck I guess but it would look real nice and unique.

Also, have you considered selling these models as kits? They would allow the collector to personalize the model.

Hello Dan,

the Mack LR with two trailers in the last picture would also be a nice addition for our collection.
But please don´t forget both Hendrickson trucks called Little and Big Henry.


Best regards

Peter and Roger

mini hauler,

Personally I would be over joyed to see a vintage Sterling produced in 1:50 scale. I realize the below photograph is not that of a "highway truck", but it was the best photograph of a vintage Sterling truck I could find.
