What a legend of a truck and what a great looking model! This is a release from IXO Models in 1:43 scale. I’m sure you all know the film, but the truck is of course the one and only Rubber Duck Mack R Series. What an iconic truck, so I jumped at the chance to get my hands on one.
Now if like me you’d like one, the IXO contact in the UK is a very helpful man by the name of Andy Mills and can be found in various model groups and of course on the Convoy film group. You better be quick, for £42 delivered to a UK address, Andy will post worldwide, they are selling fast as you would imagine! I’ll post a couple of photos of the actual model when it arrives.
While we are at it, feel free to post your favourite Convoy film quotes!!

Good job from Ixo, great truck, but the wheelbase is too short compairing the one in the movie

Lorenzo, you are correct, but sadly some models can’t be identical to the real thing. I still think it looks amazing though!

I have only rewatched the Convoy movie again recently and was prompted to do so after acquiring the IXO Mack Rubber Duck truck. I am somewhat dissappointed with it though as its not a true representation of the 1 in the movie what with the sleeper part being completely seperate from the driving cab as we can see in the Movie that Ali McGraw can move freely between both. Is there an actual better release of the truck?.
