Anyone know anything about this supposed 'old' vehicle, it's pretty big, that's a 1/18 soldier force in the cab hatch.

Its a Hemmitt (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) with what looks like to be a Patriot Missile system on it, Never seen or heard them being used for that seeing i work on these once a month(NYARNG), heres one up at my base although it is a fuel truck, http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbgallery/ma ... temId=2925

didnt' the GI Joe line put something like that out a few years ago? I think i've seen them on ebay from time to time. It's actually too big for 1/18 scale, if you can believe it.

hm....a tad expensive that one. I've seen them go for less than half that. As i said, it's really over scale and lacks two sets of wheels and the patriot launcher isn't in proportion with the vehicle. It's really too bad, cause it is sorta close but like a lot of Joe stuff, frustratingly off.

Having said all that i'll probaby buy one some day...lol.
