Nice, another vehicle that should also be offered in 1/35 by a mainstream producer. Probably already is but I haven't come across it.

Mirror Models has 1/35 injection molded kits of the Diamond T M968 in both an enclosed cab like this IBG 1/72 version (although I don’t know if it comes with a MG ring), and an open cab/soft top version (with a cab similar to the Mack NO). I have the open top version, which is nicely detailed but has some wide sprue gates requiring more clean up. Both are nice kits though. They have also released the M969 wrecker and M972 dump truck versions. See below: LINK P.S.—IBG offered a 1/72 scale M969 wrecker kit sometime back, and if this is anything like that kit, it’s going to be really nice. It’s nice to see more “Braille scale” stuff coming out. VR, Russ
