I'm not sure if I could afford any of these. Checking out the web, I found the cheapest one around $250. The L6600 came out in 1950. I found that the L6500 that came out in 1939 wasn't much different. There was minor changes to the front bumper and cab. I found these and thought I'd share it.

I found a couple trucks on the web. One seller states that the flatbed truck is about 15" long. Too big for 1/35.

The trucks are indeed 1/18 and have been discussed before, but the M-60 doesn't seem likely to have been released in 2004 without anyone around here noticing.

If Minichamps made an WW2 Opel Blitz in 1/18, I'd be on it like white on rice, even considering Minichamps high prices. A post war big truck does not interest me at these high prices.

The Minichamps made 1/18 Kubel I have is just a superb model, well worth the money.
