For those of you interested, many of these models will be arrving at www.awesomediecast.com by mid-November. We just placed an order for the Pierce Quint which should also arrive in November. We are looking at bringing the E-ONE trucks, however they have to be manufactured as there is no inventory anywhere. We are working now to determine if collectors are interested enough for us to commit to 1000 units of each.

Del Prado has done agood job selecting the models thay have done. Nearly all of them have not been done by other companies in smaller scales. I will keep all of the US ones I receive as part of my continuity series. The odd foreign models may get cast aside.

As have been stated ad nauseum is they need to pick a few scales and stick to them. My choices for scales would be 1/87, 1/64, 1/50 and 1/43. A little extra plastic at the edges of the plinth are not a bad thing.

I'm definately interested in the 1-87 scale E-One Typhoon HP 75.
