Need help finding model
Posted by georgebluhm on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 2:15 PM

Hi everyone, I am trying to find a kit of model I built as a kid. Yes, there was plastic back then !!

It was a vechile with tracks that was like a small troop carrier. The front was rounded. It was made by either Monogram or Revell. It was an open top and I don't remember that it had any weapons.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Was it a Weasel?  This is a new kit coming out soon:

The weasel was made by monogram back in the 60s.  I wouldn't mind having one myself.

I thought that it had a round front.  Was this one coming out a different version?

Hi George,

I went to an estate sale in the Spring and got the "classic" Monogram Weasel kit.  It looks like it's complete but I haven't done a thorough inventory of all the parts.  The decals and box are pretty bad though.  Let me know what you think.

The Monogram kit was an M29C water weasel, with a rounde front, rudders and propos.

 

The new one is a land weasel w/o those features at least on the illustration.

 It would be a great start for an arctic vehicle.

Here's Shep Paine's diorama of the Amphibious Weasel, too:
