While I am a big fan of Conrad models, I think they could have done these better too. They are known to recycle older moldings and combine them with new models (an example of this is the Case/Link-Belt 250 excavators from the 2010's using the boom, stick, and bucket from 90's Case 1488 without tooling a new one). The cab does look great, just do not like how it is missing the radiator grill guard and mudflaps on the dump truck version. The dump body and mixer bodies are outdated especially with the dump body missing a working tarp and not being able to add chute extensions to the mixer. I still wish Conrad would do a Mack Terrapro so we could see some revised concrete pumps or even a Telebelt. Also if First Gear was tasked with making these, they would most likely do it in 1/34 or 1/64th scale because they seem to alienating the 1/50 truck collector base lately.

Conrad also made Mack Pioneer in black and maroon which is on the site. Not vocational enough for me to add to the collection.
