Seems a couple of years ago, I was reading through an on-line catalog from DEF that included resin vehicle kits. Specifically, there was what appeared to be a Korean copy of the M715 5/4 ton truck, the Jeep Gladiator. There were a few small differences that looked to be not-too-difficult to amend to represent a typical US Army M715.

The designation was the KM-45 truck.

Can anyone make any recommendations on where to look again? The current DEF catalog doesn't show anything similar.

If you go to http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?search=Y&q_brand=DTOYS&q_category=&q_scale=35&q_word=&q_show_instock_only=N there are some Korean kits on that, I'm not sure if that's a help.

That was a good call. I was confusing DEF with D-Toys. They list the kit (D-Toys 35-016, K311A1 1 1/4 ton truck) but the retail price is $159.99. Not sure I want to part with that much for something the size of a Roden M37. I appreciate the reference info though!
