Show us your International Scout model cars and other items!

As a person who loves to collect model cars and other merchandising I wanted to see if others do the same!

At one time during my 38 years at International Truck engineering in Fort Wayne, I was manager of the Product Information Department. One of our responsibilities was providing engeering information to toy and model manufacturers for them to produce models of our trucks. The orange 1:25 scale plastic Scout was given to me by Ertl as a set of pre-production plastic "trees" (no instructions, no chrome) for me to test build. It went together well. The purple Scout was an early production kit that my 10 yr-old daughter built. The yellow 1:43 scale Scout was a diecast Matchbox model. Many of the other models are preproduction samples.

Wow that’s very interesting! I love that Purple Scout with the Rallye Stripes. I don’t think you can find those today on shelves if I’m not mistaken

The kits have been re-released several times and are readily available. The SSII is generally more expensive.
