[quote="matchboxmarcel"]Yes, let's go fill the empty displays!

Hello Matchboxmarcel,

Absolutely love these displays, if you would like to send them to me I have the models to fill them up and save you some time. ;) Posting Flat pack is fine, I do not mind assembling. :)
Thanks for showing these in this format. Excellent

I second that . Has anyone got all 14 models for this pictured display ? If so could you pm me with length of each model and the width of the widest ? Thanks in advance .
Gary, here's the measurements for all of them from C. Macks guide.

Image

The K8 is the widest (55 mm wide) and the blade on the dozer is nearly as wide. IIRC, the Curtis Wright dumper is the second widest. To answer your last question; the K8a is 55mm wide and 317.5mm long.

You are probally going to make a replica of this?
I hope you will ad some differences so that people in the future will know the difference between you copy and the real thing.

Hello Marcel , No need to worry . They will be marked . They will be very good quality I can assure you that . I don't think they are worth making if they are not the best quality available .

It's a typo (Macks books are full of typos and errors that never get corrected ... publication after publication). It should read 3 3/4.
