Has anyone seen this kit available anywhere or knows where to order it from? I have seen it built-up on eBay with a HMMWV for sale....


and I can find pics of the kit, but no one who carries it.



Any ideas???

Gino, looking at the pics you posted, I believe that you can do a much better job just scratchbuilding the thing...

I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering the price to see if it was worth it, depends on the price.

$30 USD plus shipping, probably not worth it to get one.

I bought one at a show in Germany, this Czech manufacturer had a table there. I think it was between 12 and 15 euros?

Cheers,

Christophe

It would be nice to see a kit from one of the major manufacturers. Ive sent material to a few but there doesn't seem to be much interest in making it.

There is one in the making at MR Modellbau. But don`t ask me for the YEAR of release.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. Maybe it is referencing the quality of the kit and what it should be used for.

My scratchbuilds are much better.

Starting point for a scratchbuild?

Just add some HMMWV tires.

Great reference. I will probably just scratch-build it myself.

It's very rough, more an impulse buy than anything, for the rarity. Wheels have to be replaced for sure. You're probably better off scratching one.

I had this set in hands. Waste of time and money. Shoddy workmanship. I don't recommend.
Look here- nice job of scratch. My friend is building also such a trailer from the humvee forum
