imatt88 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hey all, I haven't built any armor since High School, and I need some help, These two vehicles were given to me and I would like to rebuild them. As I understand it, these are the old Monogram kits from the '70s I remember building these kits when I was a kid Any idea what M series vehicles these are? Also, are there any goodies to upgrade these babies? If I'm not mistaken, they look to be post-Korean War vintage, possible Vietnam era? Any help would be appreciated.....

Jeepers Creepers Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi Ian, as far as I know there wasn't a kit of the M38 Jeep, so therefore the Jeep would be an MB, and looking at the windscreen it would have been different for an M38 anyway! Although the MB was only built from about July 1941 to September 1945 it was used for a lot longer. As for the truck - I don't know, but if you look on this website it may give you an idea! www.vintagemilitarytrucks.com Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) The Truck looks like an M35 to me, which did serve in Vietnam. But, I could be wrong, as I always am. And the Jeep is the Willys MB. Edited November 15, 2009 by daz greenwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 The jeep is a Willys MB and the 2 1/2 ton truck is the M34. They're very old kits with many innaccuracies but the M34 is the only game in town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) See how wrong I was again. You're not so wrong! They're pretty much the same - the M34 has single rear wheels intruding into the cargo body while the m35 has double rear wheels with a flat cargo bed! http://www.olive-drab.com/od_mvg_www_deuce_m35.php Edited November 15, 2009 by wildcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
