scale models

[J P S]

ok this is a bit of an odd one so wasnt sure where to post it.

i have some scale models of cars and i quite fancy a transporter to put them on, to make the display a bit more interesting.
the cars in question are 1:43, does that mean i need a 1:43 scale transporter?

this is probably a daft question but i am not sure

Yes, that is correct
You could have a larger scale transporter (such as 1:30 but then the cars will look small

ok cheers.

how different would 1:50 scale lorries be?

[ben_3.0v6]

The lorry would look way too small for the cars in that scale.

perfect, thank you.

i also have a couple of vectra models that i think are 1:87, one of which is damaged, need a recovery truck for that too i think.

cheers for the help

For example only;

If three of your cars were 86ft @ 1:43 scale then your trailer would need to be 3" and if you trailer was 1:50 scale then three cars which are 1" would need a trailer 3" long therefore to scale it would be a 150ft trailer.

Hope you'll find the lorry you need.
Btw as a 1:43 scale models collector, I insist: show us some pics of your collection. I'm very curious what people have

Or you could drop a 1/43rd model on a two poster Snap-on lift.
