Does anyone make early WC-series trucks?

Either in plastic or resin. Looking for types such as the WC-6, WC-21, etc.

Commander Models makes the WC 21. I think Wespe has some other early WCs as well. Both companies make resin

Thank you Roy. Which one would be the better of the two in your opinion?

Don't know if they're still in business, but I believe CGM (from France) made earlier Dodge WC-series trucks, etc in resin...

I wish someone made them in plastic - AFV Club should convert their old (GREAT) Skybow kit.

I rekon these will be something else to put on my "To Do" list in resin. Can't let those hundreds of plans and detail photos go to waste!

Yes they did, but they have gone out of business. Too bad, as it seems they had an interesting range...

Howdy,
I've always thought AFV Club dropped the ball when they didn't continue to work the Skybow WC molds. They could easily have done a WC55 (M6 Fargo) anti tank Dodge.
We need more Dodge's!!

If I only knew the exact dimensions of the Gun shield, the WC-55 isn't that hard to do in resin.

Howdy,
Check out Roy Chow's build in MMiR #52. There is a drawing with a chart describing the measurements for the gun shield.
