If you like trucks, especially modeling them, then you’ve got to join a growing number of savvy people and acquaint yourself with Sylvan Scale Models of London, Ontario, Canada. We’ll focus on their HO assembly kits here, an increasingly popular scale for people who want to own lots of truck models.
Once completed, these kits bear a remarkable amount of detail. Take this open-can American-La France 700-series pumper (Sylvan also makes a closed-cab version). It has a one-piece resin body, rubber tires, and detail parts. Like all Sylvan kits, it’s easy to customize. Retail price: $29.95 in U.S. currency.
