Default Re: New Tamiya Truck ?

I think it might be a licensing issue because Tamiya so far have made 3 US style trucks that are generic-ish suggesting they couldn't get licensing (king, globe, knight) for a total of 4 US trucks. Strange. If you count 6x4 and 4x2 versions as the same truck (Scania and now Man), the number of euro trucks is only 4, same as US ones (excluding the merc box truck, it's virtually the same cab as the merc tractor). It's a shame Tamiya never made a Kenworth and Peterbilt, they are probably the most iconic US trucks, and the only ones that are more likely to be recognised in other parts of the world. But then that makes all our king hauler conversions more unique.
