Agreed! I'm not sure if you have any 1/87 VW Buses but if you do I think the Matchbox is pretty close to 1/87 scale and I'd love to see how a 1/87 looks on this.

I love this casting.

I picked up several when they came out, and then snagged a few off a guy at TTP awhile back.

I think you'll find they are about 1/72 scale...just a bit big for HO 1/87. The Malibu Jag is 1/72 and it fits perfectly. (I figured out the scale long before though by doing a bit of measuring... ;) ) I only found the two colors, white and pale green. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't come back around yet...of all of the workhorses series, the only other one to fly off the shelves as quickly was the battle tank.

I did steal the wheels from two of them for a custom I did...
