Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you know if any of the modelling brands produce this model....the M2B
This was the vehicle i commandeered while i was in the combat engineers and it would really be a nice memoir of those days if i could build a scaled model of it.

Not so sure, but it looks like a Rocco Kit.

Finding this model is proving elusive....its managed to escape ebay and google (cant find it on either one).
If any of you know of an online store that sells it, please do place the link as well. Would be eternally grateful for it.

Thanks very much for that guys. I cant for the life of me figure out what HO stands for when they say HO scale.
Unfortunately money is a problem especially since i would have to multiply by 3 to find out how much it would be in kiwi dollars. Thanks for finding it though.
So im guessing none of the big modelling brands make this for self assembly?

1/35 Scale...good enough for me to build with -----should be easy for a "non-scratchy" :-) :-) to follow....plain outline and 4 views....on A3 size so would have to break them down to-em---
