Hey Guys,
I'm a newbie to the group , with a rookie-ish question for you all. I want to model a 1/35 scale HEMTT and Patriot Launcher combo, now, is there a Patriot Battery produced in 1/35? I know Heller makes a 1/48 version, but it would seem one would be produced in the larger scale, considering it's (1/35's) popularity.

I usually build 1/48 aircraft, so armor is a new confusing world to me

Thanks!

I know there is a manufacturer that produces or produced a patriot combo in 1:35. Sadly I can`t come at the name of teh manufacturer.
I have a French Article at home from a guy who made a dio with it. And That combo was really big.

Maybe some of the other members know the name of the Manufacturer
but I know it`s out there

Hi
I am pretty sure that it is Nimix (from Spain) . Don't know if the different resin kits (launcher + radar station) are still in production.

The 1/35 Hemmt and patriot launcher can be found state-sdie at

http://www.redlancers.com/default1.asp

their prices are very comparable to buying directly from the company once shipping is figured in.

There is a guy from sweden who is here sometimes, has pictures of the patriot system model on his web page. One Step Further
Maybe you could contact him for some info. Check out his homepage and Im sure his contact details are on there.
