Does anybody knows is there's any manufacteurer (resin or plastic doesn't matter) who makes one of these kits in 1/35th?
Thanks in advance for your time

Hi Fabio

I dont know of a current kit available. There used to be a 15cwt with the no.11 or 12 cab I think it was resin and vacform plastic by Tonda. One sold on ebay for about £30 or so recently.

Why not convert the Tamiya quad into a truck? The chassis can be lengthened to make any type you like. There were some plans in an old Military modelling a few years back.

Cliff is the truck man on here, he might know the issue.

The Tamiya Ford FAT won't make the 15 cwt without a lot of work as it is based on F30 and F60 components. The cab would be OK, but the chassis, driveline and engine are different. BTW it's a No. 12 cab.

The Tamiya kit is also big, coming in at about 1/23 or 1/33 cale apparently (haven't measured is up myself). I must agree, thuogh, other than a resin kit or the Tamiya FAT, you're out of luck.

Hi Paul

You are right in what you say mate, however it is possible if you use the italeri 15cwt chassis with the Tamiya cab, strangely enough I am building exactly this at the moment. There are some fit issues!

Thanks a lot for your precious replies!!!
Now I have to start the "quest" for these two kits...
Ciao and tanks again

Hi Fabio

Here is a picture of the cab I am working on, the front is narrowed a bit from the standard kit as it is too wide. The photo etch parts are from the Eduard set.
