I've got 80 some and they all fit in one garage.
Mostly 1/35 scale.
And the "toys-r-us" jingle doesn't work on model half-tracks, just so's ya know.

Ha ha - not even a couple months in it's lifespan and already it's missing its front shackles.

Makes a HMMWV look small, holy crap....

Do we still have an OSHKOSH rep on SS? I'd love to get some of their promo DVDs to show at MV events--- a 16 square GP tent, a generator, big screen tv, and a popcorn maker---fun times.

Based on the MTVR chassis-those basic 7-ton trucks make the 900 series 5 tons look small.!

That looks like a HMMWV on ROIDS awsome! to bad they did not have a MK-19 mounted on there. Thanks for sharing.

If they GL auctioned them, it would be funny to see what they originally paid BAE for them.
