First Gear has announced their first 1/87 scale model, a die-cast International TD-25 bulldozer. Hopefully, the first of many!
While we were wishing for more First Gear announcements we got word that this very limited run white paint scheme model will be available very soon after the yellow paint scheme version is released. If you're interested in one of these models you should immediately contact your specialty 1/87 vehicle retailer for a reservation. It's unlikely these, the first run at least, will ever reach general hobby shop distribution.
Lonestar Models is shipping their long-awaited auto carrier model. Features include brass trailer and headrack, trailer brake details, all light lenses, photo-etched mirrors, and authentic Allied Automotive Group Graphics. This limited production model (400 pieces) is available direct from Lonestar Models or through Walthers dealers on a very limited basis.
