Exclusive astran / tekno model

Great news of a forthcoming model soon to be released by Tekno.

SCANIA 111 (WHJ 194S) & TANDEM AXLE TILT TRAILER will be an exclusive limited edition model fully liveried and fully detailed to Astran spec! The model has been painstakingly researched and both truck and trailer are as perfectly original as possible.

The production run is strictly limited to 350 pieces with Tekno keeping 150 for their own club members. Astran will be holding the remaining 200 and selling them from their office.

The guide price is £150.00, but the model is certain to increase in value dramatically, once all 350 are sold out. Release date has still to be confirmed, but initial indications are favouring July/August 2010.

If you are interested in owning one of these rare and very collectable models, then please contact Astran as soon as possible to reserve your model and avoid dissapointment.
When Tekno advertised the model on their web site, all 150 sold out within 6 hours!

Ash, this is excellent, it should compliment the book on the desk :smiley: …I have already started making space :wink:

The Tekno Scania 111 is a completely new casting, so no more ragged lines or gaps between cab panels like the previous models. And the trailer is a completely new model too. All in all, its looking like a cracking collectors model mate and will definately be worth having, even though the price is high!

Get the book, the model, Dest Doha DVD and Cola Cowboys novel. What next?..Astran polo shirts maybe? Now theres an idea… :wink:

What next Ash, how about a G.B. sticker for the tailboard :smiley: . Gavin Smith wouldn’t want a fifty Deutsch Mark pull going through Waidhaus with that trailer :wink: .
It’s a cracking little model and I feel that it will be a great investment if you can get hold of one :smiley: .

Regards Steve.

Good idea Steve! You can get all manner of “accessories” for 1:50 scale models, so any amount of stickers wouldn’t look wrong. I for one will do some “heavy weathering” on mine and then show it to Bob Paul who will no doubt say: “ah, looks likes you’ve had a hard trip. Come on, we’re going to the pub”. :smiley:

Hi Ash, have you thought about an Astran calendar :wink:
It did cross my mind last Christmas to start a thread of which of the best twelve photos that had been displayed on the Trucknet site over the year would the T.N. members like to see. You know the kind of thing, somebody stuck in the snow for the winter months, somebody stuck in the sand for the summer months etc. Maybe Rikki could be the judge and print a few off for stocking fillers if he ever gets any spare time :slight_smile:
I think that you would have to draw the line when it comes to Astran egg timers and tea spoons :laughing: .

Regards Steve.

Hey Ash/Steve
Have you considered that with the exception of NTC, :smiley: maybe some of the older retired drivers could also have a blue rinse and have a nodding poodle in the window with a Astran Cap :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Just a gentle reminder… The model is almost ready for release :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Looking at September so if you haven’t placed an order yet and you still wish to do so, I suggest that you do it fairly quickly as stock is running out rapidly!!!
Once they have all gone, there will not be a re-run and you don’t want to be dissappointed now do you? :laughing:

Give Kevin at Astran a call; 07740252423 or e mail him; kevin@astran-cargo.com

Hullo Ash,
I’ve had my order in for a few months now. I just hope Kevin has enough to go around. Franklin Woods’s book is in the cabinet, Ferdy’s book is in the cabinet, your book is in the cabinet. Now I’m just waiting for the Truck to complete it. ( Sad old ■■■■ aint I ? )
Cheers, Archie

Give him a ring asap. He gets bored at work so he will be up for a chat. Tell him I said that :laughing:
He’s OK really. Just ring and ask him to check his order list for your name.
Ash.

Soover priced and loos ■■■■ the writing on the trailere cak its a insult to paul the great man should have done the orange scania drawbar or a drawbar 140 i wont be buying thats for sure

Are you a wind up merchant or what ?
1;How can it be SO over priced? That is the price that a Tekno “collectable” model sells for. I suggest you check out the Tekno site, or look on e bay etc…
2;What do you mean “the writing on the trailere cak”. (you cant spell either) The model is an exact replica of the real truck!
3;And how is it an insult to paul? Actually his name is BOB …his surname is PAUL. That is an insult calling him Paul!
4; It wasn’t the “great man’s” idea to do the model. He had nothing to do with it. He retired from Astran in 2001. It is the current owner’s (and mine) idea!
5;And it wasn’t orange at all, it was a pinkish red Scania.
6;And maybe…just maybe there will be a 140 drawbar model at some point, not just yet. But there’s no point in telling you, because it will be the wrong colour and overpriced and it will probably be an insult to “the great man” so you won’t buy one anyway! :imp: :wink:

DO NOT FEED!!!

Its my opinion which we are all allowed to have the lb76 was a orange and it finised up yellow the pictures of it in scantrucks i took in the 70s where my great mate happened to be the md when they moved from enfield to the old bedford site at meads at purfleet its just my opinion

Whilst I agree we all have our opinions, I feel you are quite blunt and rude with yours! I am not going to bite or “feed you”. Maybe that’s what you are after here… it wouldnt be so bad if you could spell or explain yourself a bit better. Bye.
ps; I’ll let you know when the model is sold out and re-sale prices rocket through the roof. :wink:

Hi all,Who the hell does rayluv think he is, the internet forum police.He seems to moan about everything on here and the whole world.I think the administrater should deal with him, because what is the point in reading these treads and just putting sh_ _ comments about everything that people write about. What a tw_ _ Paul .
p.s i surpose i will now get his nasty comments :smiley:

nobody’s asking you to buy one, but there are people out there who do, me included.

i think that if mr Bob Paul was still with us that it would be YOU who has insulted him. :imp: :imp:

im going to ring tomorow to see if im in the running for one i think 150 is good value especially as its in astran,s livery some tekno,s go for well over 200quid
