1:18 scale vehicles question
Does anyone know if the Solido or Maisto 1:18 scale Jeeps and Humvees are a true 1:18? Can you fit a 1:18 21st Century or BBI figure behind the wheel without removing their legs?

Well I have several Solido Jeeps. There spot on with the XD one`s if that`s any help.
I pref the Solido one`s i must admit,there cheap & plentyfull,compared to expensive & hard to get XD one`s.
As for maitso Humvee`s. I used to have 3 of them & they work well but parted with them ages ago & now only have PTE,BBI & XD Humvee`s.

Solido and Gate Jeeps work great, Maisto Humvee not so much. The Maisto Humvee cannot hold a figure and with how cheap the XD version is there is no reason to get the Maisto version. The XD humvee is spot on 1:18 scale, the bbi version a little too big, and the Joe Humvee the biggest of the three. Also while the Maisto OD version is OK, the tri-color desert scheme is goofy imo.

If you want one send me a PM and it's yours - I don't display it.

If you want a nice Humvee you need to locate an Exoto Humvee. They aren't cheap but they are in my opinion the best true 1/18 scale Humvee available. They are almost totally made of die-cast metal, weighing I believe close to 3-4 pounds each. Lots of operating features and super detailed too. I have three of them, 1 woodland camo and 2 desert camo versions. I love 'em. They can be hard to find but they are worth the effort. Check on eBay, they pop up there from time to time.

I agree, I have a desert exoto hummer and it is very heavy and accurate.USCGSARdog wrote:spect_spidey-

Well here you go mate hope these help you decide. Here`s a few of my Humvee`s.
LtoR rear:-BBI Super Humvee,XD Turtle,BBI SWAT Turtle,PTE Cargo.
LtoR Front:- PTE Turtle,XD Turtle,PTE Turtle.
LtoR:- BBI Super Humvee,XD Turtle,BBI SWAT Turtle,PTE Turtle.
Well as you can see the XD one is the smaller (height wise mainly) of all 3 brands. The PTE pretty much match up with BBI though.
As said hope this helps mate.

My apologies to you. I noticed the toes in the picture as well, and was layering my comedy on top of your comedy. Ooops..
See? This is the kind of thing that happens when a thread gets hijacked..

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

Where did you see the Mira Humvee? I don't think I have ever seen one of these. Are they decent?
How do you like the PTE cargo Humvee? I was going to get one a while ago but I couldn't find them when I went back. Did you get yours at KB? I like the idea of another model Humvee other than the "turtle". I think we have enough of those .
