Hi everyone! Does anyone know what Shrock Brothers were in 1/43? I know most passenger Studebakers were 1/72. Many large trucks were in 1/55, with some also being 1/72. The pickups were a mix. The website is no longer there, unfortunately.
This is the only Shrock model that I ever had. 1946 Studebaker M16 Tandem Bumblebee. The scale is 1/55.

Great question, Albert. I’d love to know the answer, too!

There are several listed at hobbyDB but I think they are all 1/72.

@jkuvakas No 1/43 are listed there, but I am 99% sure there was a President Speedster in 1/43, and a few pickups. There could have been also a COE truck.

I know I've seen some in 1/43 - always went way over $$$ for me. You have to be careful how they are listed as well - since people may use 1/43 and not know...
See https://www.ebay.com/itm/395755407536 - is this a real 1/43? Randall's book says it is! 👍

I was just thinking that Randy Olson should have some in his Independents book from 2012! He shows a '51 convertible with top up, '59 E13 pickup (that's the one I want!), plus a whole background page with photos of more 1/43... Should I make a copy?

@karl The question is what kind of sources he had, too.

photo documentation - his E13 pickup is shown next to a 1:43 Golden Hawk! The '51 is in his collection, so I believe him! 🙂

@lloyd-mecca Only by holding the model in my hands. There is too much misinformation on the Internet.
