M818 + M348 model

[Jakelc15]

Ran across this while searching for a part. Looks familiar!
Now I want to build one!

where did you find this, what scale, I can give you some links for both 1/87 and 1/35, and if really interested 1/1 scale

For the top pic, I would say that is a 1/87 scale

The paint jar is the give away. I would guess an early roco trailer.

 

[73m819]

I thought 1/87 also at first (older roco) till I saw the 983 in the background, looks to big to be 1/87, more like a real model converson kit (1/35) I have this kit, the 818 could be a real model kit, don't fell like researching the trailer, there are several in 1/35

 

[gunboy1656]

I am betting the truck in the background is a different scale, look at the jar and lettering on it (especially the bar code numbers).

Pretty good looking truck either way. Don't think roco made the 818 but there was that one company in Germany that sold it. I don't have my comp close to get a link, but is was posted on another thread about model trucks.

 

[73m819]

ya, that company cost me a lot of WANT money, there 1/87 123 just for starters

 

[Jakelc15]

Kniga from germany is the 1/87
The 1/1 pic is mine!

For a LOT of 1/87
Fidelis Models

Still looking though my 1/87 stuff for the site that has the 123/125 ect.. as well as ww2 odd big trucks (Autocar 6x6, ect)

Hek does anyone know where to get a 1/35 scale of a
M813 model ?? The only ones I have seen are well over $ 100 bucks.

 

[M813rc]

Those high dollar M813 (and M818 ) kits are the only game in own, unfortunately.

Since much of the frame, etc., of that resin kit was copied from the Italeri M925 kit, and I have little luck with the more spindly resin stuff, I just used the resin cab parts I needed and put them on the Italeri kit. Makes the kit even MORE expensive, but a lot stronger.

Confirming what Gunboy said, Roco (Mintanks/Herpa) have not made any of the M809 series trucks.

Cheers

Here Ron, this is the site I mentioned earlier. Note I have not looked at the site just grabbed the link, have a nice M49 in 1/87.

They also carry larger scales as well.

I have the above in my model folder, I have been searching without any luck all afternoon, for the 123 in 1/87, I saved the link just for the 123 ???, the bad thing about searching model sites, my want/need list keeps getting longer and MORE expensive, I am now up to about $4000+

 

[gunboy1656]

I know that is why I don't check it very often. I do like the Nike rocket they have now.

Is that 4000 before or after the price conversion?
