Two outstanding 1/24 scale models in my collection and now I have them in 1/43 scale as well. Wonderful pictures Tony.

Yes, and in this case (in my opinion) bigger (1:24) is better than smaller (1:43).  No magnifying glass needed to see 1:24.  Laugh

Both of these DM models are collectible "must haves".  They capture the time period accurately and defines DM precision to a tee.  Have both, love both!

superb models and pics, thanks Tony. The Chev was my last direct from DM. Wonder what else they could have done with the Chev tooling?

Thank YOU Geoff! A Fleetmaster drop top comes to mind and a wood-side Fleetline:
