Title: Armoured Truck in 28mm
Post by: Johnno on January 26, 2013, 03:38:08 AM

Does any body make an armoured truck in 28mm?
The boxy ones used to transport money but companies like Brinks.
Company B makes a 'bearcat which is similar but not quite there.....

Have you considered looking for a diecast model?  I found these on ebay:

Might take a bit of looking around to get the correct scale.  Alternately you could contact a company like Brinks or G4S, or GMC, International, Mack or Mercedes to see if they produce a suitable model.

Thanks for the links. I would consider using a die-cast.
I don't think the actual security company would produce the scale models though. But you've given me a place to start.

Dinky did a die cast Brinks Truck. These people have a few in various condition. 50% off all prices at the moment. Actually they've been steadily increasing the discount for the past year as they are winding down their business. If you can hold off, I suspect it will be 60 or 70% off within a couple of months.

Just type in Brinks in the search box.

Wow!
Even with 50% off the are still expensive!
Thanks for the link though.
I'll check back later. Maybe it will get down to 70%.
