Once again, we can bring News of a completely new manufacturer - Meng-Models from China. Two-in-one effectively, a New Comapny and, long wished-for, a 1/35th Scale, Styrene Pick-Up in 1/35th scale.

Can hardly wait for this one.. I just wish they would show something more than this same pic!

Over on PMMS they say that it includes a figure.. that would be a nice touch, if true.

The only problem I'm having is I don't think I can go without food long enough to save what I need for all these new modern releases

It's modern
It's 1/35
It's wheeled
It's plastic

Ticks all the boxes for me

Excellent choice for a first release! They really do need to fix their website, though.

This would be a great difference maker if you don't like resin an to only build plastic it helps a lot of us. Either don't like or don't have enough experience in resin a chance to do some nice dio' s to include a truck like this. I can't wait to get this kit an start a dio' with this in it.

Happy modeling

A much needed item for modern urban dioramas, or any modern scenery.
This really has potential.

Cheers

LuckyModel have this for $23.99 and $8.08 shipping. $32.07 is not a bad price for this kit.
Even though I'm not into the modern stuff this still interests me.

This is a Toyota Hi-Lux isn't it? If so, we could also see a bunch of Hi-Luxes as beat up by the boys on Top Gear!

Meng have released a second model of the "pick-up", this time with different figure, various stores in the back and a 7.62 MG mounted on the roll bar. Firestorm models have them in stock now.
