Title: Dodge Trucks revisited.
Post by: airborne on July 12, 2016, 10:41:25 pm
Rubicon make my year and include these in the Yanks army  please ?  They are in all scales from 1/87th through to the mighty 1/6th But only covered in 1/56th in resin they seem right up your street and need your expertize.  Cheers Geoff.

I'd really like to see some of these too.  Along with their German and British equivalents (i.e. light trucks like the Horch or Steyr, and the Morris).

I agree with Pinky, though I do keep being diverted by Rubicon's shiny tanks ^___^.

With the Willys MB almost completed and ready for mould making, we are
looking into doing another truck as a side project to go along with the main
ones.  Still have not decided on which one to do - many we don't have any
reference material... 

Being a side project, it will take much longer time to complete, and even
longer to get it to mould making.  Top on the list (with no specific order)
include:

1) Kubelwagen Type 82
2) Schwimmwagen Type 166
3) 6x4 Krupp Protze (Kfz 69/70)
4) Horch Type 1a
5) Steyr Type 100A/01
6) M3 White Scout Car
7) 4x4 Ford GPA
8 ) GMC DUKW
9) 4x4 Dodge WC51
10) 6x6 Dodge  WC62
11) 4x2 Morris 15CWT
12) 4x2 Austin Tilly
13) 1.5t GAZ-AA/GAZ-AAA

Please feel free to comment...
;)

Wow , all great ideas for future kits . I'll take one of each please  :) . Which ever you produce I'm sure that the kits will be as awesome as the ones you've released so far .   Top of my list would be the Kubel .

I will be right behind Ripley in the queue. Can't wait to see some of these listings. A DUKW, Ford GPA, Dodge WC51 and W62 would be right up my street. Am still interested in the Axis as well, but the Yanks would make my year's wish. Thank you.

Great list - it's hard to pick one.  I feel that a Horch or Steyr would be very popular.  A Kubelwagen seems like a natural compliment to the Jeep. And a Dodge and a Morris would be well received too (a British truck makes sense with all the British armour kits being released by WL).  Overall, I think I'd go for the Scout Car or a Horch/Steyr.

Besides wheels, is there much (model) commonality between the kubelwagen and the schwimmwagen?

A Kubelwagen would be nice,  a schwimmwagen does appeal.

As Pinky mentions, the Tilly and the fifteen hundredweight would be good with the British tanks currently available.

Now you can see our problem with so many choices... all good ones too!  Hahaha!

Need to start one soon!  ;)

I would start with a British one. For the Germans you already have the Opel Blitz, for the Americans the GMC and for the Russians the Studebaker.

That sounds fair to me.

Post by: LordWolfman on July 15, 2016, 12:06:32 am
That sounds fair to me.

Not only fair - sounds quite good!

And after that: 6) M3 White Scout Car  --  widely used from several armies! And I have something to forget the 1/35 Italerie and 1/72 Esci Scout Car  ::)

Post by: airborne on July 15, 2016, 03:15:25 am
Yes I really want the Yanks, so the M3 Scout car is a good choice as a multi used machine. Still with that listing, I`ll wait the menu is great."Just let em role".

Just found this post, after starting a new White Scout Car request.. apologies.

The Rubicon list is good.

I would put the White Scout Car on the top of the list, with the Horch, WC-51, and Kubel/Schwimmwagens following.

Maybe a CMP Ford, and if you are going to make a 15cwt truck for the Brits, we can get the Morris in resin from a number of suppliers - how about a Bedford MWD instead.?
