new ertl 1/16th pete grain truck

[spudd]

this is the new ERTL big farm pete grain truck in 1/16th coming out next year
has potential i think

[jetdog]

Very cool im sure this will get converted what sort of price tag will be on it ??

[spudd]

dont know yet

[dabears]

I want it!! That cab is sharp looking!

[spudd]

rumor is around the $60 area

[Espeefan]

That looks great! I think it's got a lot of potential, for RC conversions, but it is 1/16, which might be an odd size for those so heavily into the Tamiya rigs.

[scalelover]

1/16 is good for wedico parts, but I've seen quite a few die casts and toys at 1/16 that are closer to tamiyas 1/14 look anyway. Either way its sharp and hope it will work our for some nice conversions.

all the bruder stuff is 1/16, looks good on the tamiya trailers ect. good to see ertl making some different stuff.

Didn't make it out to the show in Dyersville this year but this truck was one of the big things Dad and my brother were talking about when they got back in town.

Glad to see it first hand, thanks for the pic Spudd!

Ok, well fist things first..... The truck looks like it has some great potential for a future project and very easy convert for some. I really like the size of the Ertl Diecast tractors and my Ford fits perfect with the Tamiya rigs so I'm sure this truck shouldn't bee too much smaller in scale that it would make a big difference to most.

Now down to business............. Spudd I have heard some very interesting things from and about you from the others on here and this picture kinda scares me. Looking at the back wall there I'm a little worried as to why you would have potty training seats on the wall, but hey who am I to judge, I guess when a man's gotta go, he's gotta go. Now I can really see where the guys come from when they give ya crap. I'm gonna have to start watchin my back n make sure where you are at times.

I'm just bustin your chops but I couldn't resist when I looked at the background and saw what was hanging around.

Cuz I'm lucky enough that I got my own right here waiting for me along with my drool rag when needed on some builds.

Pretty sweet!! It looks like a 367.

[spudd]

I was lookin for a new toilet seat and found this in the plumbin section

[mazdaparts]

Spudd, did you say big farm? I thought that line was all plastic and kinda reserved for the wee young-uns. Atleast all the big farm tractors I see are all plastic.

[spudd]

Yep big farm

[intz2nu]

Ah this is quite nice till I got wind that it's just another Bruder like Mack Truck that is plastic. Though I guess it seems about right as not many manufactures would produce such a large scale model in DieCast. However the detail is quite decent and I'm sure with the release of this will come maybe a release with different rear bodies and maybe different cab colors.

Ertl says that it is 1/16, but it may be more like 1/14. Before i bought the new combine, i did the numbers on a 1/14 9610 and it came out to be aboiut the same size (29") as the Bg Farm s670.
