G'day all,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any manufacturer who produces 1/35 scale civi pattern vehicles? Something along the lines of a pickup or SUV ie: Toyota Land Cruiser half ton. Something not in resin would be preferable.

Thanks!

CMK makes a VW beetle as it`s used by the africa korps (DAK) It`s plaistic kit and if you paint it in a fancy red or blue color you have a nice civi vehicle

LOL.... Thanks FAUST,

I just don't think you will see Herbie the Love Bug somewhere in modern day centeral Africa with a Soviet 20MM mounted on it's roof..................... or would you?

Actually during WWII, the VW wasn't available in a variety of colors.... dark green, dark grey, and black are the only colors I have ever seen.

Des Kits makes a WWII vintqge Citroen in 1:35 Resin, and you can EASILY convert the Italeri Zis-5 Russian cargo truck to look like a 1930's era dlivery truck (see the conversion I did in "Minor Sabotage" located in the FEATURES section)

I have also found few 1:thiry-sixth (1:36) and 1:38th scale metal cars from the era in the toy section of the GROCERY STORE.... ice trucks, limosine, and ambulance--- all of which converted nicely. I have a spare Limo if you are interesed... let me know, and I'll post a photo when I get back in town. Pretty nice exterior detail, but the inside need conversion (or curtains!).

dude their are some landrovers in 1:35 1:36

I will check what manufacturer makes them
if I find an website for em I will put it here

hello,
Go to www.toms.nl
It is in Dutch, but on the top of the page there's the word "schaal" which means scale. Search for 1:36 and you will find 19 vehicles. Most of them are from movies but maybe you can convert some.
Hope this helps.
Greetz,

Thanks gang,

I thank you for all the imput on civi veh's... but what I am looking for is a modern 4x4 such as a Toyota Land Cruiser or the like.... I have a sinking fealing I am out of luck in 1/35 scale.... I have several "Landies" ( I am a BIG Rover fan... and currently looking to possibly buy one for a full scale resto project.... hint hint!) but they just don't fit the bill..... in fact It would down right be a shame to see one butchered!

Try this site. www.modellbau.pixels.at
They don't have 4x4s like you are looking for, but its' something.

Also- AMT-Ertl makes a couple of 1:32 "Monster" trucks. Passable detail (barely) but they need a LOT of work to be useable. No interiors, etc. There were some trucks, cars, semis, etc. in 1:32 produced a few years back by AMT, Revell, etc. I've seen them on EBay (based on a tip by Sabot).

Anyhow- I'm hoping that the various manufacturers will take a look at the recent conflicts, at potential hotspots and realize there is a market for some 1:35 civilian vehicles.
