Nuremberg 2010 - WSI
Editorial February 2010

In just a few years WSI have become something of a standard setter in scale modelling, and their range of truck models particularly has grown dramatically.  Even through the recession business is reported as good.  This year sees a couple of truck crane models appear, and the Hitachi ZX 870-3 excavator will appear in quarter 3.  Unfortunately the sample model of the Hitachi was caught in the post and did not make it to the early days of the show.  However photos of the sample indicate that it will set a new standard with realistic hydraulic hosing and a removable counterweight.

Truck fans were well catered for with the Telestep, Denisson trailer and Scheuerle Intercombi models.  To see Little Treasure Models click here.
