Hi all.

I am looking to buy or trade for a 1/35 Kirin M151 Super Jeep Conversion and 1/35 Commander's Series Canadian Otter Armoured Car. If you have either one and you are willing to deal, please contact me direct at [email protected] and we can try to work something out.

Not sure if it's the same thing you're looking for, but the Czech firm JP Hobby do several full-resin kits of the Super Jeep 6x6. Oh, and completely unrelated but more on-topic, they just released a kit of the Skoda PA-2 "Turtle" armored car, with markings for pre-war Czech, pre-war Austrian and WW2 Waffen SS markings. Due to the current non-mighty status of the dollar, it's a wallet-burning $120.

Oh, back to Super Jeep - there's two versions listed. The one that's out now has the 37mm AT gun fitted to the back and is...$120. There's another due later this year with a pretty chunky flatbed trailer.

Pics and stuff can be found on www.panzership.cz - lots of interesting stuff to be found here if you like poking around and looking at stuff you can't afford.

Hey, Pat, does something like the SA-8 Gecko's launcher count as WarWheels fodder? 6-wheeled fairly lightly armored chassis carrying AA missiles. CMK has a kit of another vehicle using the same basic 6-wheeled carrier, only carrying an SS-21 Scarab, in the works too.

Oh, and Panzershop themselves have a Trabant 601 NVA (the "East German Kubelwagen") coming too, which I'm sure a lot of people are just dying to add to their collections

The Super Jeep you are referring to is TOTALLY different than the one I'm looking for. The Kirin "Super Jeep" really is a USMC FAV/DSV conversion for the M151 Mutt. The one you refer to is based on the WIllys Jeep and has 6 wheels. Of course, I'd like to get that one too!!

Yep, the wheeled Missile/Rocket Carriers count toward WW too!. I have a 1/72 Retrokit 9P129 Tochka (SS-21 Scarab TEL) kit I plan to get up.... someday.
