Now that is what the Dutch army uses to haul Leo's and other tracked vehicles.

Trumpeter, please do this one too

Richard, thank's for these photo's, You have just added another 'must build' in my head. :-) :-) :-) .
Hmm a 1:35 DAF 95, dubbel drive, spacecab.....If enough of us call Trumpeter they might just listen.
As for the first pic, how old is that? Do the Dutch still have the YPR without the luggage racks and all the extra gubbins on the rear and turret? I ask as I bought the AFV YPR765 before I got hooked to the internet, and here I could only get the AIFV version, not the Dutch one . Would look good on a low loader..

Cheers
Henk

I have no idea how old the first pic is, but color and shape would indicate mid to late 90's ( 1995 and later )

Reason: a: it's in RAL 6014 ( not the 3 color camo )
b: the truck itself which was introduced in the mid nineties.

As for the YPR, I wouldn't know. I was in the artillery, not the infantry

but... you might want to try these
