Who made the Tatras? What scale?

Yes please, those are great trucks.

latest Matchbox-Mattel... heavily Mattel influence here.

And another Matchbox-Mattel from the same pack

Yep I usually watch that show when it is on TV. Bikes, cars, trucks.

They are made by Kovap and Kaden and are about 1:43 scale

I\'d say that is more military then Dakar-rally. No race numbers, the roof is not enclosed, etc.

Jan, it could be a support vehicle.

Support vehicles carry spare parts and tools.

okay, you\'re right... its a military vehicle... just noticed the bullet hole tampo\'s.

So please ignore that picture until someone slaps a number on it.

The real vehicle was placed 3rd in the 2005 Dakar rally driven by Kleinschmidt and Pons. 


This Minichamps model is 1:43rd scale and is number 436 055310. I used a Nikon D200 with a Nikon 105mm VR macro lens mounted on a tripod to gain sufficient depth of field. The location selected was the great outdoors using natural light.

I have seen this car before and the detail still gets me. I only have about 3 Minichamps but they are a highly detailed model and I really like them.

Okay, that one is awesome! The level of detail is off the charts. I usually don\'t do 43rd scale, doesn\'t really fit with anything else I collect, however, I\'m giving this one some serious consideration.

Also Nobleco this level of detail comes cheap!

I bought this for the princely sum of £4.99 from TKmaxx. SRP is around £30!

Cheers Chris

oldtruck56 did you get this one?
