Artitec N Scale vehicle models

I’ve been lucky enough to have been offered the opportunity to purchase the 4 recently released Artitec vehicles I’d most wanted.
These 4 are my first experience with them, in fact I’d never previously seen one in person
It’s certainly not the only thing I can say about them, but the easiest is that they are jaw dropping models.
They are fully painted, often weathered and exquisitely detailed and in some cases include additional decals to further detail them.
I feel you get a great value in your purchase.
Kudos!

I also have not had a chance to see any of those models in person, but Carter gives them high praises.  Seeing the photos at https://www.dm-toys.de/en/list/manufacturer/Artitec.html  seems to confirm that those are excellent models.  Pricey, but not unreasonable for their quality.

Some samples:

Pricey, yes.
Though…
I’ve been to shows and seen people sell “assembled and painted” GHQ or Showcase and often, believe it or not CMW vehicles for much more $$$

I think these are my two favorites.  The Ford 5000 and the Fordson Dexta. 



My "real" farm tractors have included two row crop versions of the Ford 5000, and one Fordson Power Major.  While these models are not exact representations of the tractors I owned, they are closer than I ever expected to see in N scale.

And, I have never been disappointed in any of the Artitec N scale vehicles I have purchased!   :D

I believe it.  I did write "Pricey, but not unreasonable for their quality."

The vehicles are exceptional. My only complaint is that they won’t expand the N scale line, or market existing N models in multiple iterations as they do in HO. For example, the D7 bulldozer is offered only as a weathered model in N, while in HO it is available as new-unweathered and as partially disassembled/blocked/tarped for use as a flatcar or truck payload. I’ve asked them on numerous occasions for this over the past few years, and they like the idea but haven’t moved on it.
