WWII Truck.

Post by kevrut » Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:42 pm

I found this on E-Bay a couple years ago. They said it was a custom truck, but it looks like something you would find at a dept. store. It's close to 1/18. Only .75" longer than the 21C truck. I can't fit a figure in this one either. It's all metal too, even the tires.

That looks Bloody fantastic :D

Given a lick of Green & that could certainly be seen as a cargo carrier/recovery vehicle.

If it`s all metal maybe that`s what the guy ment when he said custom.He got it from a guy who made it??? or he made it?

I didn't pay anymore for it than a 21C truck. :)
I might just paint it some day, good idea. Thanks, Kevin.

There is something stamped on the bottom. "AH748". If this was one of a kind, why would there be a serial number? No big deal, I like it anyway.
