To give an idea of scale, the larger model is around 13 inches in length, The prototypes are slightly different - the cab fronts and front tanks aren't exactly the same but otherwise they are comparable.

If fancy the smaller model, it's a Backwood Minatures etched kit. A nice model and reasonably (taking into account the twin engine units and 4 sets of complicated waggly bits) easy to build.
