I agree wholeheartedly that we need more trucks :-)

Have you ever tried to build a Revell truck kit?

We like to have modern US and NATO trucks in a good quality!!!

So why bother to read the Softskin forum??

Because techniques and interesting topics show up on all forums eventually. My comment wasn't so much that I did or didn't build this or that kind of model, but that the answer to _all_ of these questions of why not this or that is the same; because the makers don't think there is enough of a market. And I was an example of the larger market in not caring enough to want such kits.

For every person in the softskin community wanting NATO trucks, there are probably 5 people in the WW II community who would much rather have a Daimler Armoured Car. And they're not getting that, either. :-) And I'm certainly not getting the Ram II I want. :-)

We all live in anticipation as to whether our own particular niche subjects will ever be made.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but while you and some others would like to see more NATO trucks, some of us (like me) couldn't care less.

I don't ever build military trucks.

Which is at the heart of the answer to every post asking why no models of this or that or something else.

The answer is, because none of the companies believes it will make enough money to be worthwhile. It's that simple. If they thought it would make enough money, they'd do it. That few companies make this sort if vehicle says that they do _not_ think it will make enough money.

If these are selling, one might suppose a few of their NATO counterparts would, too.

You'd think so, I'd think so, and a bunch of us here would think so, yet it seems the manufacturers _don't_ think so.

As always, I'd love to be a fly on the wall at these discussions when which model to make next is decided.

Can't these BOZOS see that many of us are GETTING TIRED OF THEM

The curious thing is that we have recently had a spate of obscure Soviet trucks, and one wouldn't think there would be a huge demand for them either, yet we now have Kraz trucks (a make I had never heard of when they were actually in production), as well as Zil, Zis, Gaz, and so on. If these are selling, one might suppose a few of their NATO counterparts would, too.
