Re: Size difference between 1/72 and 1/87?

Thanks for the info, Jeff.

Awesome Diecast is supposed to be getting in the Metro-Dade Quantums again soon, according to an e-mail I receieved the other day from them, and I plan on buying at least one. I skipped on buying the DP Quantum a few years ago because one guy reported that these were way bigger than 1/87, more like between 1/72 and 1/64 the way he talked, so I didn't buy one. The other night I read on the 'net from a guy who has one and he said it was 1/87.

I have the Montreal E-One HP100 and it fits in well with my other 1/87 models, so I'm not too worried about the size of the MD Quantum.

How easy or difficult would it be to remove the Vector light bars and the deck gun on the Quantum? I'm not crazy about how they look and would like to replace these with something more realistic-looking.

Are you painting one of the Quantums yellow to match your Jeffville Fire Department fleet?

Re: Size difference between 1/72 and 1/87?

All the parts come off the Quantums pretty easy. Really no different that other models. I will be painting them yellow. Although it may have ot wait until spring since blizzard season is here. Painting in sub freezing temps does not make for nice models.

OK, thanks. I'll have to give it a try then.
