Nice one, Scummy. I bought Dad one of those several years ago when I first saw them. At the time there was also a small kit available which made it look even more Australian. The kit included a spring type bull (nudge) bar and the exhaust exiting out the bottom of the truck instead of a stack. I believe the fellow who was making these small kits has since passed away. His sister told me she had no more of them.

I have one with the kit and will try and get it out for a photo shoot.

You have stumbled on gold there Scummy, a very nice model.

Nothing like a model of a truly Australian icon.

Enjoy

Scummy, hey great model and I see you spotted it on E-bay. Are these hard to find as I would love to get one? And can they bought assembled?

Mate , they are hard to come by . There is a rep in cronulla nsw but they go for mega money . Go to ebay toys and search for - first gear trucks, thats the name of the company who make these in the states . If you have paypal there's heaps of other trucks on the usa ebay ,they are much cheaper on there than here . They are already assembled and you can get them in 1/25th ,1/32 , mack trucks dealers sell a small collection as well but are also dear .

All

The Aussie conversions (Code 3 I think the term is) were done in quite a few familar names. And the mods were quite extensive.

I've got Linsday Bros with a perfect replica of their bull bars. they are converted to RHD etc.

I think I paid $500.00 about 12-15 years ago. I was always disappointed with the Yanky trailer. and more disappointed when it broke in two due to NQ heat. They gave me anew one under warranty - and it did the same thing.

I'll did it out and post apic.
