[cyclone1410]

I am in the process of designing a diarama and I need a 1/24 scale car transporter. Revell have one but it is 1/25 scale which I will use if I have to however does anybody of one in 1/24. Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone seen just a trailer without truck (I'd like to use Iveco or Scania trucks)?
Thanks

I don't know if there are any 1:24 kits out there, I've never looked. But I would imagine with a little kitbashing you could make a 1:25 trailer work for 1:24. At the very least, you could transfer the dimensions of the trailer to strip stock of Plastruct shapes and make the chassis and frame from scratch, big enough for 1:24 cars, but use the detail parts like the hitch, wheels, tires, controls, diamond plate and whatever from the 1:25 kit.

Wonderfull transporter! I dream I could find it in France! (I don't have yet the necessary credit card to order at HLJ... ) That's exactly the truck I was dreaming of, I didn't know it really existed...

The only car transporter I knew were great, indeed (american transporters...), but at 1/25e too, unfortunatelly...

I don't know whether there are any 1:24 packs out there, I've never looked. In any case, I would envision with a bit of kitbashing you could make a 1:25 trailer work for 1:24. In any event, you could exchange the measurements of the trailer to strip supply of Plastruct shapes and make the suspension and edge starting with no outside help, sufficiently enormous for 1:24 autos, however utilize the point of interest parts like the hitch, wheels, tires, controls, precious stone plate and whatever from the 1:25 pack.

to be fair, a search in 1999.co.jp after all these years didn't yield anything in 1/24 that's available.
