...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.

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??
