Hi,

Anyone know for sure what scale Leader Class Prime is in Alt mode?

Not as in a number but he's JUST a bit smaller than the Masterpiece Prime and Magnus.

I took this when I first got it.

So what do you reckon, somewhere between 24 and 32?

Dunno its hard to tell. Nor the movie prime or the MPs are accurate enough to get any believable measurements.

Like the MPs are bigger, but they have smaller wheels.

But yeah, around the 29-32 mark would make sense.

Great, thanks. I've been looking for appropriately sized trailers to kitbash.

Why kit bash?

The MP 04 trailer is better fitted to leader Prime than the MPs.

Mines the ebay knock off though, not the MP04 one, but they should be the same size.

Ah perfect pic for scale.

I wanted to do up a blue trailer with flames to go with the new prime deco. Judging by your pic, I'll go for a cpl of inches longe than the MP trailer.

Perfect. Thanks!

Man those pictures really make me want to buy Leader Class Movie Prime.

I wonder if a MASK trailer would fit Movie Prime.

Oh wait I don't think there was any M.A.S.K. Trailer.

Im more than a little surprised at how good Leader Prime looks with the Mp trailer behind him...

Because MP trailers cost an arm and a leg?

Whats this about a knock off trailer?

It was listed as a MP Trailer long before MP04 came out. I think it was about $40AUD from HK.

Its perfect in every way as far as I know. The logos on the sides are raised and the paints apps are flawless. The front of the trailor and chrome metal 'bars' that add to the realisem. Tyres are rubber, and the blue used is the same colour as MP01.

The box it came in was the same black style that all the MPs come in but was a little bigger. Had the same designs etc on it too. I still have the box if you guys want a pic.

Seems reasonable, where did you buy it from? The real MP trailer however every place ive seen it it has been $70 upwards.

I might be wrong since it was some time ago and the listing isn't in my history anymore.

I grabbed it of Aus Ebay I think and it shipped from HK.

I guess. It depends on the value of your money. I'm an avide car modifier, minature painter etc and love doing things with my hands, and to me, the trailer I have here is probably worth that much to me. It is flawlessly designed and built.

I agree, id buy one for $40, but not $70! Thats more than i paid for prime himself.
