Help me finding the missing manufacturer...
« on: June 18, 2011, 10:13:17 PM »
of modern (from Gulf War to now) US military trucks in 28mm (1/56 scale)...

I know : S&S (mainly humvee, APC and tanks), Force of Arms and Hobby Armor Depot. But a little voice in my head is yelling "you forgot cxajghkgddklaz you c*** !" ( and I don't know any manufacturer called cxajghkgddklaz yet)

Any clues (especially for trucks M35, M49 [FoA do some but if someone have a review of HAD stuff] + MRAP vehicles + AAVP [FoA have both]) ?

FOA truck can be seen here (Akula's post)

HAD truck (need a mini for scale purpose !!)


I need to spend my money.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I wouldn't order from HAD if I were you.I did twice and got my stuff but the whole deal was sketchy(I think  I got good service because I told him straight out on the phone that I knew he had crap for a rep and ordered in two small lots to reduce the risk).A lot of other guys have had major problems.Do a search on TMP and you'll find some real horror stories.
Oh yeah the models are kinda crude casts and the breakage was terrible from shipping,I got one truck in about 7 pieces.

Thanks, will fit perfectly if not too pricey... because I spotted those (Corgi) but from 40 to 50 € on fleebay... after quick search, I can't find the model you spotted, even with the manufacturer listing.

Sorry about that, part of my last Cthulhu invocation.

BIG EDIT : TADAAAAAA

"only" 15 to 17€ the piece (and no repaint needed since sand color)
