Title: Does anyone make this US Cargo Truck in 15mm?
Post by: Bravo Six on 13 February 2021, 07:43:08 PM

I'm trying to find a similar cargo truck to this MBA kit, but in 15mm.

I'm quite surprised that S&S Models don't do this kit in 15mm.

Nice truck. I wouldn't mind in either 28mm or 15mm, but plenty other things on the table first.

Actually I think this Matchbox would make a good proxy with some minor modifications.

Yes, I remembered that. I think I have one for the 20mm project I did over 10 years back. Nice bit of kit, that.

I ended up getting a few of the Matchbox trucks in question, and used a canopy off of a Matchbox Unimog vehicle and I think it looks passable to me. :)

I have a Peterbuilt water tanker coming soon and apparently the tank is similar in size as the truck bed, so I may be able to make some fuel trucks as well.
