Thanks to one of our very good friends in Germany, Robbie Englert, we have now had the opportunity to take a very close look at the Italeri Pete 377 and Western Star 5964SS. We've included the photo above for a quick comparison reference to the well-known Wiking Peterbilt (far right) and the Herpa "Peterbilt" (middle). In comparing the scale measurements of each of these three, the Italeri is hands down the closest to 1/87 scale. For further comparisons and photographs, check our special Italeri Update.
