1/35 Caiman MRAP?
Posted by lazyfortress on Saturday, September 3, 2016 10:54 AM

Just wondering, is there a 1/35 Caiman 6x6 MRAP?  They look neat.  The hood is different from the other MRAPS.  Also, do Caimans have slat armor?  I really want to build a MRAP, as I've never built a wheeled vehicle before.

The only Caiman model I know of is a 1/72 resin kit.

How big is the 1/72 Caiman, in inches?

3 to 4 inches, smaller than a 1/35 scale Jeep kit.

I think a diorama would be best for 1/72.  I could put it in a convoy with an RG-31.  I bet the RG-31 is 2 inches.

Yes, in 1/72 scale, the kits resemble matchbox style cars. Casual observers might think that is what they are and attempt to handle one like it is made of durable diecast metal. Yes, that has happened to some of my built kits. I now place those sizes in a glass display case or on a small diorama base so people do not attempt to pick them up.

There are many 1/35 scale MRAPs available. I'd go that route with a Maxx Pro or some similar MRAP like the M-ATV.
