Willys Jeep 1/4 ton trailer

[jarndice]

Two Alleged 1/16 Land Rover short Wheelbase Defenders were delivered to my Door yesterday, each from a different maker indeed one from China the other from Germany
I say alleged 1/16 because these are the dimensions of them, The Chinese Landie ----------------
Wheelbase 20 CMs
Overall Length 36 CMs
Hight 18 CMs
Width 14 CMs

The German Landie -------------
Wheelbase 14.5 CMs
overall Length 24.5 CMs
Hight 13 CMs
Width 11.5 CMs
I suspect the Chinese Rover is 1/14 or 1/12 but it was half the price of the German one and decent r/c so no complaints BUT why say it is 1/16 when patently obviously it is no such thing ?
Wills 1/4 tonne trailer matches the German Landie perfectly and I know that the trailer is 1/16.

Yes unfortunately alot of these models seem to have a scale issue
Something soo simple to check aswell, but consistently presented badly
Was one of them a MN90 or 91 ?

No, FAYEE FY003 China.

I needed Red LEDs for the trailer and a few other builds so off to my goto dealer in matters LED and bought 2 packs of 5 Red Grain of Wheat 6 volt bulbs Total £8.72 including postage.
There is a very large range of LEDs in their catalogue.
www.microminiatures.co.uk
They are available in many different colours and 3, 6 and 12 volts.
A good dealer who uses first class post which often means next day delivery

Thank you for posting the link. Even though there is a great deal of water in the way, I still might find it useful someday.

Pictures coming later showing the 1/12 trailer we made to suit the ROC hobby RC range
it will be posted later today, but we will get photos of it and comparing it to the 1/16 version.
On that version we did use ROC rubber tyres which are very nice and soft

We have thought about whether or not to do a 1/6 version, but because a version already exists from ROC hobby for their 1/6 variant, we just don't think there is a market. Maybe we will make one for ourselves someday, but we have other projects to be getting on with.

Have you thought about a price yet for the 1/12 my hero?

We just sold the first one we made it was £70+postage, that included the proper ROC rubber tyres.
