Don't get excited guys ... all I'm saying is that it's about time someone made a paper one of these. It's been considered a few times now, but ...?

Meantime, at £9.99 this 1:64 diecast on ebay is lookin' pretty tempting.

Hmmm? I just clicked on BUY IT without checking the postage. Coming from HK it puts the price up a tad.

Love these things, does the big side door open like the real one? post some pics after you get it.......Rich

I'll try to remember Rich, but coming from China it might not get here until March.

but there are a few more pictures on ebay.

Seems there's only one more left, if anyone else has been tempted.

I know there use to be a Resin kit in 1/25 that was VERY Expensive
There were 5-6 of them I believe.
Each one had something different inside.
The Resin did, or Could offer Opening Side, but the 1/64 Diecast
does not appear to open

Michael

Here's a guy that was working on one in 1/25, but haven't heard anything in awhile A little Futurliner

Somebody had a couple of test shot resin bodies on ebay 2 or 3 years ago, but heard that he decided that the project wasn't going to be profitable and never did any more on it. Futurliner Test Shot Resin Casting Starter Kit 1 24 Motorama Concept Bus | eBay

Yeehaa!! I got a bite. Go for it Gary. All I can offer are the pics off ebay for now, as the die-cast will take a while to get here from China, but there's plenty of pictures on Google Images. https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...25.Sy9FzHu5ZxQ

I'm given to understand that there were quite a few of them built, and they were all different.
