You are referring to the Arii/Heller 1/48 Patriots. Theye were not in 1/35. There were 3 kits to make up the system. Also, the only part of the sytem that was even close to accurate was the missile launch trailer. The truck and other associated equipment was something the Arii came up with. They looked like soem civilian tractor trailer, not the ones used by the US Army.

Launch Trailer

“Control Center” truck

“Antenna Mast” truck

Great Models Webstore shows them in stock for about $25 each.

There are four components to the Arii sets. Set 1 is the Missile; Set 2 is the MPQ53 Ladar (I think it is a misspelling of Radar); Set 3 is the Controller and Set 4 is the antenna.

I agree they do not look like the real thing. They look more like something that would be used to fight Godzilla.
