I know what it reminds me of, but I'll be polite and refrain from saying what. 8)


Actually, that overhead rack looks like it would work for a DAK halftrack or armored car. The question then would be, what to do with the rest of it. lol

I've seen their stuff in the past. This looks less crappy than most. I have wondered in the past if they create molds from other companies' products (Ultra Corps, etc). Can anyone with a 21C halftrack tell if this looks like a copy of that under all the extra....stuff...?

If you don't look directly at it, squint your eyes and imagine something else all together, it starts to look better. :lol:

Yeah, um I think I will just wait for the 21c model.

I've actually seen this one in person. I don't believe it looks as bad as this picture does. However, its not 21C, and I would still (and did) rather wait for the new 21C ones.

That looks more like the U.S. halftrack than a Hanomag. I guess it's a mix of both. :?

It reminds me of something from that awful GI Joe Sgt. Savage line from the mid '90s. Pretty much junk as far as accuracy is concerned...

I took a look at one of these today at a local Big Lots store. Had thought maybe I could use one for a destroyed Halftrack and part out the rest!
Well, for $17 I think I will pass and would prefer to put a little more $$ toward the 21st version.
It looks very toy-like and seems to only have 2 rockets on one side only. Although it is packaged with another 4 wheeler vehicle and a few soldiers, I don't think the asking price is worth it!
