Die cast truck models required

[200bhp]

I design /modify truck bodies and equipment for a living and it would be very useful to be able to show a client what we're planning on something a bit more real than 3D CAD.

Previously I've used rapid prototypes (3D printing) for smaller products but that's difficult here because I dont have very detailed CAD of the trucks we use.

So my thoughts are to 3D print our product to the same scale as a die cast shop-bought truck.

Who are the best manufacturers for this kind of thing? I'm looking for something about a foot long and it must be as accurate as possible, preferably an MAN 8 wheeler or Mitsubishi Fusso 6 wheeler.

Corgi and Tekno are the names that immediately spring to mind.

However, there is also quite a kit built catalogue from people such as

and

Thanks.

Most of the trucks on those sites are a littl etoo old for what we're looking at. This is the kind of thing I'm looking for:
