Hey guys, does anyone know of a really nice, detailed kit of a patriot missile system including the truck and pac2 radar? Im also looking for a good model of any variant of a HEMMT. I prefer a larger scale like 1/32 or so. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give. Todd
Hey
I’m in the same boat here myself. There is a member on a few other modelling forums that scratchbuilt the launcher assembly.
There is only one model available in 1/35 scale, but for the life of me I can’t remember who makes them. They make the launcher, the transport vehicle, and the radar. However, they are all resin kits, and you’re looking to spend about $1000 or more to get all three.
As for the HEMMT, your only game in town are the Italeri kits, which are out of production, but you can find them on ebay pretty consistently.
What I’m going to do, I’ve got the old Arii (or Heller) 1/48 offering. The basic dimensions are ok, but its a crap kit. I’m going to just measure it out, and upscale the measurements to 1/35, then from pictures and whatnot, add details.
EDIT: Also check out www.primeportal.net for some awesome hi-res walkaround pictures of both the launcher and the radar.
