G'day guys, just got my hands on the US Mk23 MTVR! First 1/35 kit as I come from Warhammer. Was wondering if anyone new any books have have good images on it and its variations?


Brad.

Seems not to be too much info on the Mk23 at all. What little Oshkosh posts I cannot seem to bring up on my computer. .??Restricted??

Hop over here to see some construction info on the 16.5 ton 8x8 and the smaller Oshkosh 4x4.

Thanks a heap mate. Will check it out.

Oshkosh Truck site should give you an insight what variants are in service.

Problem with books is that the truck are only used by USMC, and I hardly doubt that compaines like Tankograd Publishing will send its writers to the U.S. just for a book.

Tankograd Militärfahrzeug magazine issues 2-2007 and 3-2007 include articles about the MTVR series trucks. If you're lucky (and can read German ), maybe you can still find them even though both are out of print...



Primeportal and Maquette Garden have some walkaround pics of the Mk 23 cargo truck :

Thanks Frenchy for the much needed and hard to find reference photos on the Mk23.

You're welcome Mike. I've just sent you a few details pics I can't post here...
