Alright so I just learned this and I just wanted to share with yall cause who knows, maybe you'll find it cool too.
So the truck on the left is a Ford Super Duty Crew Cab, and the one on the right is a Jiefang CA-30. Both are 1/64 scale. I just recently got the CA-30 a few days ago, and I was wondering if it actually was 1/64 scale. I did some digging, and it turns out that they are both the proper size for 64th scale cars.
IRL, the Super Duty is a whole foot longer than the CA-30 (22.1 ft for SD, and 21.9 ft for the CA) which to me is pretty crazy. A bit crazier is the horsepower difference. The SD has 5 times the horsepower (500 for SD, while CA only has 95.)
Even though they both come from different times and also different parts of the globe, thats still pretty wild to think about, right? Just something I wanted to share. Expect some drawings and more photos soon too :3

Nice! And the CA-30 is basically a Chinese copy of the Soviet ZIL-157 (both had similar Inline-6's, but the Zil's have just a little more power, @104hp), both of which despite being underpowered compared to the more modern Ford, actually have better cross-country capability. (Quite a few of the Zil's are still going strong in civilian hands all over Europe, and not totally uncommon to see them still as Fire Engines or Fuel Bowsers at some airports in certain countries, as they were pretty reliable trucks - the Russians quit making them around 1994 if I recall.) 🙂
