Interesting piece. Off hand it LOOKS like a civilian Mack with a military paint job, but the US Army did use some big Mack trucks during WW2, including the 7.5 ton Mack Model NO as an artillery tractor.

Yeah I saw that truck last night as well. Caught my interest, but I doubt it is a 21st Century piece. It is advertised as "ULTIMATE SOLDIER 1/32 MACK U.S. ARMY TRUCK 1/32", but in the description the seller does not list the manufacturer as 21st century, only that it is "[...]perfect to use with Ulitmate Soldier, Forces of Valor, or any 1/32[...]". It is a bit pricey as well; for the money he's asking for it I think I'd rather just wait for FOV's 2011 release of the WC-63.

If you haven't seen it yet, here is the picture of the vehicle we're discussing:

It looks like a First Gear L series Mack truck redone in postwar markings. The L series was a 1940`s - 1950s line..

Thanks for the info. That's probably 1/34 then... Stuff like that always concerns me about Ebay. Why can't the seller provide as much info as possible?
