Hi,
time ago I randomly came to a picture of an after market modern type lifting jack in 1/35. Unfortunately I cannot remember the producer nor had a luck when googling
Do you have an idea which company it might be? It is that type of jack which you can see on SOF Humvees and I desperately need it for my AA´s Landie.
Thanks for any reply
Regards
Jiri

Dear both,
thanks a lot for your replies. Mouse House is the one I had seen. The website is now in my "Favourites" so no such mistake will ever happen

Thanks again

Pro Art Models does indeed include one in their GMV conversion, but here's something worth knowing: You're building a Land Rover, so it'll work. For SOF uparmored M1114's or M1151's these things usually buckle under the weight. Instead there's a bottle jack in the trunk which works much better. The ratchet jack is just for beating bad people about the head and shoulders.

Have you picked one of them up? They can weigh up to 30kg! i would only drop one on someone, not try and swing it!
Thats what pick axe handles and small hooligan tools are for! better weight for better swing! And don't forget 4 D cell maglights are the best size for clobbering someone!

Thats a question of style. I prefer the 4 C cell. Lighter & quicker. Also the only thing the SureFires are not better for.

Actually, that is a non-lethal weapon. Best used as an application agianst an unruly crowd... It's true, I swear.
Mike,
Can a quote you on the 4C cell Maglight...

Absolutely. I have been carrying mine for 18yrs now. Nowadays, the SureFires provide illumination, the MagLite provides enlightenment.
