Do you guys know of any military vehicle kits in 1/24 or 1/25 scale?

Posted by dmk on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 11:26 AM

I just got a Hasegawa Jeep MB in 1/24 and it's a neat little kit. It fits nicely in with my collection of scale autos. It gave me the bug for more military vehicles in the "traditional auto scales".

Do any of you guys know of any other military vehicle kits in 1/24 or 1/25 scale?

Tamiya does/did a few large-scale tanks in 1/24. I am not sure they still do, but it is something to check into.

I do not know how to create a link. Go to Scalehobbyist - military vehicles - tanks and select 1/25 scale. Tamiya and others make 1/25 scale tanks.

Italeri's Jeep/Fire Jeep, Tamiya's line which was copied by Academy, Bandai had a few out there, Toy Star issued a Tamiya copy, the old ITC/Ringo company did a few.

It is just not a popular armor scale.

I have a couple of Academy kits in 1/25, a Panther G and a Jagdpanther.

I tend to do 1:72 and 1:144, but you might like …

Hasegawa's 1:24 Pkw.K1 Kubelwagen Type 82 …

Or Italeri's 1:24 Land Pover 109 LWB.

Thanks guys. I realize it's not a popular scale for this genre. I'm just trying to fit some military trucks in with my scale auto collection and I like to do models in similar scales.

I'll have to look for the Kubelwagen, Land Rover and Land Cruiser kits.

I really, really wish someone made a "Duece and a Half" or M151 Mutt in these larger scales.

There's an Opel Blitz 1:24 from Italeri (released this year) that nobody has mentioned. You might be interested because it's a truck. I have a finished one to show (1:24 carrying 1:35):
