nightofjoy Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hi. Can anyone suggest some quality brands of vehicles that would be found on and around a building site? More delivery of building supplies, steel, timbers etc than actual earth moving equipment. I've seen the EFE ones but they're a bit on the vintage side. I'm looking for modern. 1:76 00 Thanks.

bootneck Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 You could try Corgi 1:76 HGV's. Scroll down the page to see some modern vehicles, with HIAB etc. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richellis Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Oxford do lots, modern and older but also give Road Transport Images LINK a look, they do resin kits and you buy the chassis, cab, body and wheels septal you can configure exactly what you want. Again old and modern stuff including decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with the Corgi tracked vehicles, icon upper right, and then realised you meant road vehicles so selected the other theme without changing the header.

wamwig Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Sorry but if you want quality (as in your original post) they are very unlikely to be available cheap on ebay! I guess you could always make your own out of Plasticard and commercially available wheels, occasionally places like Home Bargains have suitable (toy) 1/76 vehicles that could be converted. Oxford Diecast do some modern Transits so you could use those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with buying used... imo *not as frequently Edited January 20, 2021 by nightofjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Check out the RTI website. All resin parts and you can configure your own model. https://www.roadtransportimages.com/index.php modelldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
