Just thought I would post a couple of my latest models to see what you think.

Looking good. I'm guessing either Real Model or Hobby Fan conversions on the Italeri M923/M925 trucks.

The M936 is Hobbyfan and the M931 is Real Models conversion with Real Models wheel. I also have Real Models M969 Tanker trailer for the M931

They look great. How was the real model M931. Did it come pretty detailed or did you have to scratch build the details

It was OK, I think the detail was good, but the way it was cast needed some work, there was a couple of parts the I couldn't use. I also found the instructions lacking and had to go through a lot of photos on the net to see where everything went.

Good work on these 2 trucks.
How is the RM semi trailer ? That can be a nice project.

Its pretty good, my only worry it that the tank was molded as a solid resin part, it most weigh a full pound. I am a bit worried about the axles.

I know, I am thinking of replacing the axles with brass tubing.

great work on both trucks ! I have the semi on the short list..and working on the 936A2 right now.
The nato scheme looks excellent on the wrecker, how was the Hobby Fan conversion ? I'm using the RM one, and would like to build another..

Well, I don't have the RM M936A2 to compare to the Hobbyfan conversion. But I was really happy with the HobbyFan conversion, this is my second one. the castings where crisp, the instructions where easy to follow. I highly recommend it.
