...And still can't afford. It's not quite WW2, but pretty close considering there's nothing else available.

WOW, That would look great in OD. Too bad about the price, Ive been looking for a 1/18 truck but can only find things like buddy L trucks. Though big, not very detailed or military.

Dude!! They have UNIMOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They would be great for a modern Africa dio!! I didnt see prices though, but like they say "if you have to ask the price, then you cant afford it"
...........i really dont like that saying.

About $200 for the unimogs including shipping. I had this site order them for me:

www.scale18.com

Schuco detail is FANSTASTIC! Winches actually have thread wrapped on them...not molded!

I haven't seen that minichamps truck, either brand new or older out of production.

Also there are the Bruder Unimogs. Less then $50, I don't know about detail, and they might be closer to 1/16 than 1/18. Have never seen one in person.

You'd think there would be a market for WW2 era trucks, wouldn't there be enough interest between collectors, nostalgia, and toys??

Those trucks are awesome! Theres a Bruder Unimog dump truck for 26 bucks! I would like to get the 200$ one but Ill settle for the 26$ one:)
