New 1/35 KrAZ Bro wrecker truck and KrAZ-255B cement mixer truck from Four Star Miniatures
I’m assuming these vehicles, as awesome as they are in the 3d rendition, will be a small mortgage in cost. But damn, they do tickle the modeling funny bone!
Here is one built by the proprietor of Four Star Miniatures.
They are actually at a pretty reasonable price for full resin, large truck kits at 165 Euros each.
Looks like a work of art. If they could sell the mixer body alone, that would reduce the price and allow for adapting to other trucks like the Merit Diamond-T or the Mack R in 1/35th and 1/32nd scales, respectively.
The HobbyBoss KrAZ - 255 is currently out of production (maybe it will return some day)
The Roden KrAZ - 255 is less easy to build and costs around 40 Euros.
I’m not totally convinced that there would be a major savings
but
the option to use the mixer body on another chassis could be a good reason
for selling the mixer body separately
The HB Kraz-255 may be out of production, but it is still readily available. Dozens on Ebay; Hobbyeasy, Sprue Bros, Hannants and others show stock.
If you look at the Four Star KrAz Cement Mixer post where you asked the same question, you got a response from them.
Wait until the weekend and there will be a surprise!
Hopefully we will have the answer soon.
Guys! Coming soon …
Take a look around the webshop. There will be more news soon. We have a lot of ideas and plans. Three are already under planning. You will receive more information soon!
I totally agree Robin…selling the mixer as a separately made kit makes perfect sense. Maybe Four Stars Miniature will consider such an option, as well as telling us what other vehicles the mixer is adaptable to!.
