Does anyone know of a manufacturer that produces the M50 ONTOS? I have a Marine friend who is pretty ill and served as a crew member on an Ontos during his Viet Nam tour. I would like to build him one, in any scale. Thanks for the help.
FOUND ONE, THANK YOU.

Re: M50 Ontos
Academy makes one in 1/35 scale. Just do a Google search for "shopping" and lots of t-shirts and mugs come up but scroll down and these 1/35 Academy models pop up. Not expensive other then 1 pre-built on eBay for over $100.00.
Hope this helps and hope your Marine buddy gets better

Re: M50 Ontos
145 HP!!! My 1200 Bandit only produces 97 BHP but a good friend/Biker has a Kawasaki 1400 GTR which produces 158BHP and there are plenty of Motor Cycles that are rated quite a bit higher than that and I am talking Tourer's not Plastic Rockets.
Astonishing to think that this was not only in the field in numbers but well regarded by the troops who used them.

Remember Terry, the Ontos only weighs in at 8 tons. My friend says it had plenty of torque however.
