				Jeeps/Kubelwagen/Schwimmwagen  in 1/18 scale

				Hey Guys,
The 21st Cent Jeep is selling for well over $100. I forget the name buy  there is another  new Jeep out that has a lot more detail that is selling for $100+.
At this price one would have to think twice before they start modifying and expensive model.
So what if you had a resin copy of the 21st ? If you mod that there would be nothing to lose.
So would you guys spend $100+ for a resin copy Jeep with a modification ?

				well both Solido and Gates make 1/18 jeeps and they are still fairly easy to find for well under $100.
The Kubel might be a better thing to copy.

				Not for a Jeep, but how about the amphibious Seep?
If guys want you to make a Jeep, how about an armored Jeep or a SAS desert Jeep?
My 2 cents.
TTT

				Any more thoughts on the Kuble ? I am not sure if their were a lot of variants on that,
Does anybody make a Shwimwagon  ( spell ? ) in 1 /18 th ?
Any interest in that ?
As far as the Jeep goes I was thinking of the gun shield with the twin bazookas.
And the SAS. Of course you have the fallow me Jeeps as well as the rail road jeep.

				A Schwimmwagen would be a great choice, of course you have to make sure enough people were on board for it, I'm hoping you can get to the 251 mod first 

, that is one I will have to have

				I'd be up for the Kubel or the Jeep, closest I've come to a good jeep is the PTE Mutt. 
I'd just want a plain jane one with a .30cal or maybe an SAS one.

				Schwimmwagen would be interesting to me...  Ihave a jeep and a Kubel, and I know not everyone does, but it's not like they don't exist in one way or another...  A Schwimmwagen is only in 1/16 so I'd be much more interested in small stuff if it's new.

				I would be totally in for a Schwimmwagen. That is one of those smaller German vehicles I have wished for in 1:18 for a long time.
