Hi there,
Is there any company that produces an 1/35 scale model of the CUCV ?
Doesn't matter what kind of version !!

Nothing out that there that I recall. That is one vehicle that is missing out there in plastic or resin.
The only thing out there is in 1/87 from ROCO. They had all the different version, M1008, M1009, etc.
The Blazer was the first vehicle I got my military license on. As a matter of fact, i still have it on my military license.

Man, I'd love to see both the CUCV pickup and the Blazer in 1/35 plastic. I drove both when I got to the National Guard - tons of fun! They'd be useful for civilian vehicles too. I guess they're all replaced by various HMMWV's by now.
Along the same lines - what about a 1/35 Chevy Suburban or Tahoe? Paint it gloss black and you've got a Blackwater or CIA truck!

Not much in 1/35 vehicles......... try the 1/32 Diecast stuff... that's the closest right now.
The Nat. Guard units around here still have the CUCV's..................

Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. Might have to get me one of those; though I've never dealt with diecast before. 1/34 scale though? All the 1/35 and 1/32 stuff out there, and those folks have to use 1/34?!?

Camp Atterbury and the 76th Brigade and 38th ID both of the Indiana NG are still using them, but mainly for base use. I also saw some up at a Michigan post but I forget the name.

A Lot of O/C-T units still use CUCV's. I use them all the time up at Ft. Drum, Ft. Dix still has sizeable numbers as well.
Just make sure to model the rust holes if one does come out
