If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

The trucks are very interesting.
Will these come with a choice of military or civilian details?

CUCV is one of those kits i just MUST have!!!
I don't expect it to be cheap, but I don't see anyone ever releasing it in styrene, so not much choice here...

Pawel

I need to buy it NOW!!!!

Rounds Complete!!

Lift the top fender line and change the headlights to round ones and you've got youself a Canadian 5/4 ton !!!!!


cheers

just what i was asking for, cool. i think i may be making a majorman factory purchase soon thanks Jim for bringing this info around even before they have updated their own website, great job. cheers, mh.

We get the new web-site these weeks...
I even hired an administrator to care

There will be parts casted by Friulmodel like the busher and differentials, springs...

More to come ....

I agree with all comments above. Been waiting for this on my dream list, very surprised to see it come to fruition so soon. Will be buying two once I save enough in the model funds.

MH: I think you've made me a convert when you first showed me their product line. May be making my own majorman purchase by the end of this year

Hello Gabor!
I see your PTS-M is on the early 500mm T-54 tracks. It is very interested for me.
Do you plan to produce it as a individual track set? Or maybe with early T-54 idler wheel?

How about one of these?







cheers

Very good news. Cheers to Miniman Factory!! If these kits are anything like thier others, it will be a great release.

Outstanding guys, it looks like someone listens to us. I'll be buying a bunch. Ok, now maybe an M-37 ????? Especially as we have the trailer.
Thanks,
Jake

Thanks Patrick for the kind words...even I did not find the CUCV in Your datebase..

The M37 is on the plane desk...next year.

Great kits!

I was thinking of building the pick-up version with a Dshk in the back as a gun truck in the Lebanese civil war.. which would be sometime between 1975 and 1982. Would it fit in that time frame, or was this model made later than that?

I remember back then there were American pick-ups (I think they were Chevy's) used as gun trucks, but I'm not sure if this particular model would be right for that time frame.

Looks good but I am afraid of bankrupting my wallet.. Great to see some highly demanded product though.

Some info about the CUCV trucks :

Hisham, I believe the kit should be usable for a civilian 1981/1982 K5 Blazer truck :


and the pick-up variant should be usable for a 1981 C10 truck :

Thanks a lot for the info, Frenchy

Hisham

I go away for a weekend and look what I miss. Great news. I will definitely have to get one.

Hey Minimanfactory,
Any of these have a chance of being produced! Thanks Joey
M129A1 semitrailer van
M915A3 Semi truck
M870A1 semitrailer
M128 semitrailer
M989, MLRS resupply trailer
SEE engneer vehicle

You are quite welcome.

As for the CUCV not being on WarWheels.net, you're quite correct. It isn't armed or armored so it doesn't "belong" there... However, I do like the vehicle despite that "limitation".

BTW, I would also love to see you release an M37B Utiltiy truck as well. Maybe even an armored truck like this?

For those interested, CUCV fans have their own dedicated forum on Steelsoldiers.com :

Joey and all others,

We plan to create the SEE soon.
Even the M127 trailer and the M915A2/A3

You can help our works with informations about the M915A2/A3...I have the TPUBs all...I need detail photos.

And of course YOu can all take apart from the deceloping with buying our kits :-)

.forgot...

we have the M870A1 in the program, evenn the M872 trailer.
They are more widely used as the M129 for example.

Hisham,
You are thinking of the Dodge pickups the military used from 1976 to I think the mid 80's. Then the chevy's were used. Spo we still will be missing a light wheel vehicle.
Tom

What about a M989 MLRS resupply trailer!!!
