M37 Scale Model

Post by WarrenD »

There may be a 1/35 resin model kit of the M-37 coming out in the next few months. I've been working with a guy who has been producing some very nice looking resin detail parts and through a modeller's forum, asked me to supply some dimensions of the real thing. The last I heard, he was hoping for an Aug production start, but given the nature of things, it might be somewhat later. If his other kits are any indication, this should be very good quality. I've asked him about pricing and without committing, it sounds reasonable. Further down the line (ie, if he sells enough kits...which I personally think he doesn't know just how many he'll be selling!!!) he may issue a guntruck conversion for his M-37 kit based on a familiar truck.
He did announce the project on the other forum, so the info is public. Please be patient, we've waited this long so we can wait a few more months. Once the kits are real, I'll post links and info as to how to get yours.

I would like one also if the price is not to high. The last scale assembled model the price was way to steep.

I'd like one but not for $90.00 that's just ridicules. A resin model should be under $25.00 I would think.
M37s are HMMWV in my world!

You can always build a paper model while the kits are being developed.
