USMC 7 ton truck
Posted by Ruse13 on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 7:16 PM

Does anybody know where I can find a USMC 7 ton truck model? 1/35 scale is what I would like to find. Trying to do a M198 Howitzer and I would like to find the 7 ton to add to it.

I think that a 5 ton such as the M923 series is used with the M198s. Italeri makes a few variants. Older duelly style or the later bigfoot tire type.

It was what was used. The 7 ton replaced the 5 ton in the early 2000's.

I guess that is a matter of perspective.

All the new trucks that replaced the Deuce 1/2 and 5 ton remind me of the Tonka trucks I used to play with as a kid. Big beefy solid trucks.

Trumpeter has announced a Mk237 ton in 1/35 as of last year, but it is not released yet.
