Looking for M37 model current manufacturer

[DAP]

Does anybody make a plastic model of the M37 for assembly. I know there used to be a paper one and and premade $250+ one that is no longer available. Anybody know of anything or any plans?

Nothing on any front. I have heard rumors for years that AFV Club had picked up some old molds but nothing has even hit the rumor mill at this point. It certainly is a gap that could be filled, and more so now with the growing interest in the Vietnam war.

M37 series is not availlable. Seems not interesting enough for the manuafactures. The rumors of AFV were about the former Tomy molds, which later landed at Airfix, now at Italerie. And they still stay there, sometimes they make some thousand models for the world as a remake. Also M-series Trucks are relatively reare on the market. The oldest is the M34 form Monogram, now at Revel Germany, as well as the former Renwal blue print models, now as History Maker from Revell Germany (M62, Hawk Missiles, M55 Howitzer, Nike Ajax rocket and some more). Those not coming up any more are on the ground of the Atlantic Ocean some miles from Lisboa.

Wow nice looking M37 and other models. So obviously you don't make plastic pieces from scratch? or do you? How did you build it from scratch? Please give more details.

i have many scratchbuilt models and lots of kitmodels also.the m37 was built from a testors weapons carrier.the axles were modified a bit the front fenders are reshaped testors items.the hood and rad were sanded and shaped to m37 style.rear of cab and doors are from a monogram deuce.cab rear needs to be widend a bit.bed is cut down monogram 37 ford.bows and other parts are scratch built or from parts box.dash and some other parts were modified to m37 lookalikes.tires and rims are modified italearie cckw items.give it a try it was a fun build.
