C'mon Paul. At least it's a new truck... not like the 're-visioning' of the KH in black that came out this past year - What a crock-of ----- that was!!
Let's not discourage the Tamiya team from creating new truck bodies & frames. I'd love to see some more models in the near future ... like Marmon, AutoCar, or even a Studebaker. Those would be pretty sweet!! - RCT |

Is ok is not a euro cab. or any fantasy body like a new optimus crab.

This truck may not be to everyone's taste but I am happy to see them put out a new US model.

Not really my style truck and also not a long nose pete or KW, but a small step in the right direction as far as targeting the us market. Maybe someday they will start producing some of the American classics.

I hear ya. I was bustin your stones a bit lol. My train of thought is any new truck is a good truck and it keeps the hobby moving forward.

Re: 56340 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution (Tractor Truck)
No stones broken. Sorry to say if it is licensed we have to work with manufacturers. Most of them are going to want to license new items that are being sold now. They want to promote their brand and that is hard to do when licensing an old design.
There is just more to it than most realize. Back in the 70's and 80's licensing was a breeze. Just and FYI.. Thanks, Joe |
Re: 56340 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution (Tractor Truck)
It is a let down that they did not make a better attempt at a classic American truck. They did very good with the king and globe. They look like true American otr trucks. It would have been nice to see a Mack or IH and something that you could either build a nice day cab or heavy haul truck out of it seams all their trucks are sleeper cabs?? To me This is just an example of a cheep throw away company truck.
I commend tamiya for building these trucks for us but I would like to know they take a little insite on the people that enjoy building them. |

I agree it's no coal rolling western star or mack or pete but atleast it is american (kinda lol).
I would like to see more american trucks but them euro guys have us outsold for kits hands down. I guess it would make a "good" fleet truck? lol |

Doesn't Mercedes own freightliner now? And I think already makes a licensed euro Mercedes truck too? .if that is the case. That would make licensing slightly easy knowing they can represent a popular truck in both their euro and us markets. Tamiya already had their foot in the door at Mercedes???....

Re: 56340 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution (Tractor Truck)
