WWI Lorry Conversion (1 Viewer)

Hi A-C,

thank you for your reply. I hope Regnar-Rick does not object too much for answering in his thread but I will strictly stay on the subject and hope he will get some usefull information out of it as well.

I do not like resin vehicles either (Figurines are ok to me) and just until recently I came to learn that Cursor was indeed a german brand. Interested by this thread I did a quick research on EBAY Germany and I can confirm that there are still plenty of 1/35 models around. The Staff Car that interested me that much is cureently available as the "Kaiserwagen" (Flag missing but boxed for 19,90). So are various other German Lorry models of that period. Even a Büssing "London Bus" model, obviously pre WW1 is available and it does look good. Cheapest I found from that range is a MAN Büssing 1904, very attractive model for 7,99 €. Well it is EBAY so you can spent 39,99 € for the same model from another dealer. There was also a very nice 1920 Lorry - which would look brilliant at any "Babylon Berlin" display.

Your searchwords on Ebay Germany would be:
1/35 Cursor
1/32 Conrad (mainly construction verhicles)
1/32 Siku (mainly Farm vehicles but sometimes very nice tractors pop up)
1/32 NZG (More or less the same as Conrad)

Not much of an research but 1/32 really is not my scale (It is either Heyde scale "1/43" but Diecast models are verboten here - they got to be Tinplate - or Elastolin 1/25).

Germany´s largest criminal cartel DHL has lowered prices on shipping XS parcels. As I understand you live in Brasil so the 2 Kg DHL parcel will reach you for a mere 15,49 €.

Hope you may find this usefull, sorry Ragnar-Rick ...
Regards
Wolfgang

Finished ambulance conversion.

I must have missed this post, and it's wonderful to see all the vehicles that I'd repainted or converted for Luiz over the past years.

The good thing about them is that they can easily be disassembled because many of the parts are screwed together to get down to the chassis, the rubber tyres come off the wheels so easy to use spray paint cans to achieve the required military colour.

Love the conversion of the Amubulance, looks good too !!!
