If hasbro stuff is close to 1:18th scale, this might work for an M-8 Greyhound.

It is kind of close. The turret is all wrong.

There could be some posibbilities.

yes the turret is the biggest problem. Could modify the existing one and cake lots of stowage on it to hide the fact it's wrong, make a new one, or live with it as is.

Scaling from the pics i've seen it looks pretty close to 1/18 to me. Hasbro stuff tends to be on the small side, which in this case is not bad, since the Greyhound wasn't all that big. Needs to be about 11 inches long.

Well, with the way things are going at this years toy fair this may be the only 1:18th ish vehicle we get. :roll:
When it hits the stores I'll pick up a few and see what can be done. With a little putty and paint....we'll make it what it aint. :wink:
