What you planning on doing with it?
Dave

just strip it down and repaint maybe for carrying troops get a few 1/18th figures but postage is to high

chris

US or German? (wish I could add British grr)
Just get an M3 or Hanomag halftrack, much cheaper! I dont get how people can afford those highway 61 trucks!
Dave

could do us or german but as you say cost to much i have a mato M3 anyway would be nice to convert one of those trucks might keep looking for a cheap one

Check out this thread: http://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/v ... =85&t=6503" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; near enough the same conversion, not that hard either.
And this too: http://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/v ... =85&t=6489" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; that Perrier truck was luckily about £20, you can get them here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CHEVROLET-GMC-194 ... 230ba6ac90" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; postage about £10 maybe? Or this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Solido-Chevrolet- ... 2eb148048c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The Germans used pretty much any truck they could so those would be ok to use.
Cheers

Nice Dak stuff yeah IJ trucks are ok, I recently altered one to be more like the Mercedes Truck they were supposed to be. Just cut the height of roof down a bit, removed that horrible line across the windscreen (makes it look like an old guy with glasses on nose) and put the grill back where it should be. Il try to put some pics up on here soon.
Anyway good luck with the hunt
