Too bad it isn't 1/18 . It looks real 1/1 scale . Impressive

That looks like those cast iron cars that have been showing up at places like Cost Plus. Last year, they have a train, a 50's vintage truck, and a bus, if I recall. They're not too bad looking.

I just noticed there was also a reserve - kept me from bidding - seller also has a jeep

This truck is closer to a M-37 than the WW2 WC-52 cargo truck. It's not a very good copy of either. Very rough. Price is right, shipping is not. The 1/1 M-37 was made from 1950 to 1969-70 and used up to just a few years ago. Best truck the military ever used. Tough, reliable and in compound low in 4x4, it will walk up a wall. It will do anything you ask it to except make a run to the bagel shop and back by itself.....

What it should look like is (in very nice Air Force blue and with nice but unoriginal rubber):

This truck was shown at a MV show in North Joisey. I posted this pic because it's much nicer than my M-37 and thought you AF guys would like it..

This Chinese metal model has alot to be desired. Strange wheels, odd cab cover.

I'd be more interested in the Command Car the same guy is selling, but that is also "very off". Why bother when we have the 21C CC.

The two trucks look great. With a little modding, perhaps it could be an awesome vehicle to have.

The problem I can see in turning these two, kind of strange models, into something neat, is the wheels.

The wheels and rims are strange. How can they ever be fixed? Nobody makes wheels in 1/18.

We have the same problem in 1/6. Wheels and tires. You can make a vehicles out of paper, wood, plastic or concrete.....but the killer is the wheels and tires.

Both this guys trucks have been relisted. Scale is listed as 1/16.

I wonder if the reserve price is just too high, especially considering the shipping.

Or maybe this guy just thinks Americans will fall all over themselves to buy any rough piece of junk from China.
