Maisto Truck's

[putsie]

Forgive me if this has been covered recently, I don't spend a lot of time in the trucks section.

I see Maisto builds a line of IH Lonestars (extreme haulers or something like that) painted up in Hot Rod, Firestone colors, etc... Any ways, anyone know how close they are to 1/64 scale? I've seen them around in plenty of places and have been tempted a time or two, but they're one of those things that (to me) look close to scale but about the time I get one one and get it home it'll be like 1/60 or some goofy odd ball size.

not bad its a very close match expect for the height the lonestar is a little tall

Wouldn't even touch them when there's a DCP Lonestar on the market.

Good point... I agree, but when I stumbled across some for $7-$8 the gears started turning. If they were a true 1/64 I'd be tempted to tinker with them. They're ahead of Ertl Pete's as far as detail (not saying much I know). Without a doubt if their even a little out of scale their not worth my time. Personally I'd rather have a 9900i or even a 9200 for a farm display before I go the route of a Lonestar but thought I'd throw it out there anyways.
