1/18 tank transporter?

Anyone know that is with the Abrams tank? What scale, what toy is it, is it accurate to be transporting an Abrams?

No idea what it is, but I don't think it's accurate. Typically an Oshkosh HET is used to transport the Abrams, and the cab and trailer are completely wrong for that vehicle. Here is what it should look like: http://media.defenseindustrydaily.com/i ... _M1_lg.jpg

The trailer looks like a Bruder trailer. The tractor unit looks less detailed in comparison.

The pics of the 2 vehicles looks to be 1/2 scale in perspective to the garage

I wonder what does the seller mean when he says in the listing
"Always using blue gloves to taken photos"

Look close at the pics. The vehicles are not 1/2 scale "judging by their size next to the garage door". Check out the floor under the vehicles..... it looks like a canvas cover on a table of some kind.

If the vehicles were 1/2 or 1/6, would they be selling the Abrams as cheap?

Naaaah, it's a smaller scale Abrams, with some kind of crappy toy as the mover...

A train carrying a dozen of those and other trucks from Oshkosh rolls through town just about every Friday when I get done with work. It parks for about 15 minutes on the only road out of the industrial park.

I was just looking at the pics on ebay and just below the ebay sale, I noticed a 1:18 Dodge Command Car....$32.00 7 bids 1 day to go.....
look at the sellers name.... iluvnfl Cat Lady Toys. She is the lady who sold the King Tiger prototype.
