The 65th Spielwarenmesse International Toy Fair Nürnberg
sees many model making companies from all around the world – it is an important
show so many model distributors are showcasing their best new product – as is
MENG with their previous kits and an all new F-350 pickup in 24th
scale!
They have elaborately prepared for this show. – you can see each of their very nicely
finished models in isolation showing them off to their greatest advantages- MENG
was not content just to have their old kits on display but they have announced
an all new modern kit that will make a few different corners of the modelling fraternity very interested..
The brand new product announced In the 65th Spielwarenmesse
International Toy Fair Nürnberg is the Ford
F-350 Pickup truck in 1/24th scale!
This kit looks like it could have some great potential – a very
detailed car with the same detail of their 1/35th scale kits could
indeed be a game-changer and have companies like Tamiya looking over their shoulders.
The scope to detail this up as a deer shootin’ truck from the backwoods of the
USA – with a dead deer on the front, a gun rack and some primer paint on one of the replacement
panels!
The press release states…
“In 1999, Ford Motor Company released a new F-Series pickup,
the Ford F-350 Super Duty, which was powered by a diesel engine. Its size and
payload were increased to meet customer needs of special multi-purpose
transportation, towing and hauling and other use. After many years of
development, Ford F-350 Super Duty has become a top-ranked luxury pickup with
heavy load capacity and high level configuration.

replicates the accurate exterior of this muscle truck. The precision and
complex engine bay is fully represented. Two options of the wheel hubs and side
