Totally, and overnight shipping was CHEAP! I'll send pics when it comes in.

It's hard to find models of the Nam era deuce and the M37 too, for that matter.
Scale is only 1:50, though. 1:35 would be nice for more details.

And it is pre-assembled... but 427 hp.... I've gotta own one!

I'm looking for 1/43 scale or 1/48 scale...go with my 79 year old dads whole basement train layout, put a military base on one new corner !

FMV has a 1:35 scale deuce (M35A2) kit for sale, but you have to look on Ebay or a hobby shop that stocks some of the more high-end or obscure kits, can't get em from the rack at Wal-Mart

I've been looking into one for a while, I like to build 1:18 scale model muscle cars

 

[DrFoster]

I feel stupid... FMV?

Roco makes Deuces and 5 tons in HO scale. Nice details too.

[carguy455]
