I'm looking for any companies out there that produce some of the "behind the scenes" trucks that the CF uses.

Specifically:

10ton HLVW
16ton SHLVW
MLVW
LSVW (I know, icky)
G-Wagon
AHSVS

Any versions are satisfactory.

Revell (Germany) should release a Mercedes G-wagen (SWB) in August :


More info HERE

IIRC, HLVW series is based on Austrian Steyr trucks. A few 1/35 vacform Steyr truck kits are available, but they probably require some work...
You can find some of them HERE

Ryan,

I did a lot of search on that already and I never find anything. I think we will have to wait a bit more...Frenchy, Revell will release the Wolf, not the G-WAGEN. It's not the same vehicle. But maybe with some woprks it can be turn into a G-WAGEN ??

I stand corrected...I'm not really into modern Canadian softskins But Revell's kit appears to be the only game (not yet) in town for a G-Wagen project (apart from a vacform 1/35 2-door Puch G made by HSV). At least it will be cheaper than Azimut's P4 resin kit...

PS : I've corrected the link to HSV stuff in my previous post (just click on "Austria army")
