I am in on that, i will have to do layaway with you but if you do it i will get one.

i figure that will cost 350-400?

anyway it is great to see a modern kit.

maybe i can put a red cross on it and some machine guns. ;)

That would be about right.

This thing is BIG lots of resin and a lot of parts. Heck those huge wheels will wiegh about a pound each. Unless I can try to make it hallow . Which is a lot of work to save on resin.

It will probably take me about 3 days to make the tire prototype :shock:

This may just be a dream but I would love to have one of these.

Either 1:1 or in 1/18th scale :D

Maybe someday I will have to make it.

Actually I think that if I were to make the MRAP m-ATV it would be about the same amount of work as the sdkfz 222.

Except for an interior.

So I am guessing about $250 for the M-ATV.

Maybe just a little more because of the interior. :D :wink:

I sold well over 30 of the 222's , but I am not sure if this will be as popular.

Hey Matt, I found this site: http://detailedcraft.com/shop, they are 1/16 but it would be pretty easy to cast them. Pretty expensive though.

I'd like to see an RG-31 and/or a Buffalo.
