I just got a Hasegawa Jeep MB in 1/24 and it’s a neat little kit. It fits nicely in with my collection of scale autos. It gave me the bug for more military vehicles in the “traditional auto scales”.
Do any of you guys know of any other military vehicle kits in 1/24 or 1/25 scale?
Italeri’s Jeep/Fire Jeep, Tamiya’s line which was copied by Academy, Bandai had a few out there, Toy Star issued a Tamiya copy, the old ITC/Ringo company did a few.
Thanks guys. I realize it’s not a popular scale for this genre. I’m just trying to fit some military trucks in with my scale auto collection and I like to do models in similar scales.
I’ll have to look for the Kubelwagen, Land Rover and Land Cruiser kits.
I really, really wish someone made a “Duece and a Half” or M151 Mutt in these larger scales.
There’s an Opel Blitz 1:24 from Italeri (released this year) that nobody has mentioned. You might be interested because it’s a truck. I have a finished one to show (1:24 carrying 1:35):
A motorcycle 1:24 is also a nice and well-detailed kit though a bit pricy (from Tasca):
