Re: Die-cast 67-72

Nice detail for 1/64, but I forgot to mention, 1/16. That's what all Hwy 61s were. When I found out GL was bringing back the HWY 61s I got excited. Talking to another guy, he said they left much to be desired. Now I see what he meant. Nowhere near the quality of casting from before. At a glance you see a '70 C/10, but I could tear it up with criticism. I'll keep it to the same thing that bugs me on their 1/64s, that silly silver paint all around the door windows. I mean look at any real truck, that is not there so why do an extra step to add what does not belong? GL needs an advisor on accuracy on these trucks. Or just look at some pictures of real trucks.
