Hey everyone, Does anyone know if there is a M1078 LMTV kit out there on the market right now in 1/35th scale? If so who makes it and are there any reviews on it. Thanks a million!

The Steyr 12M18 truck that Matt has linked to and Seb used for his conversion is not the exact same thing as the Stewart & Stevenson built US M1078 LMTV. It is a good base to start with for a conversion, as Seb did with his. It needs quite a bit of modification to be a US M1078 though.

Ok, thanks guys for the info. It almost looks like it but it also has some parts it looks like I will have to modify. Being in Iraq I'm limited to what I can do, due to the fact I don't have all the tools and supplies I need. I will keep looking or find something else to build while over here.
