shaynnon Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I must not be as good at Googling as I once thought, because I'm having real trouble finding kits of these. If someone knows of any of these kits already in production, please let me know. Thanks!

kptucker Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I believe that Panda Models produces the Cougar MRAP. Both Panda and Kinetic produce the M-ATV. The RG-31 is produced by Kinetic. Nothing on the RG-33 yet. Bronco Models produced the Buffalo (2004-2006) but you'd probably need a resin update set to make the H version. If any company was going to produce a Husky VMMD, it would be Meng Models. You might poke around to see what was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Hope this helps... 1
shaynnon Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks so much'! This is a great help.
Mark Aldrich Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Revell did the Fuchs (03038). Have no idea how much has to be modified for a U.S. version
802chrisg Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 In addition to what Kevin said, Panda 's kit of the couger is the 4x4 version. MENG models will be coming out with the 6x6 version this year. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:
kptucker Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks Chris, didn't check the wheel count. And, Kinetic is producing the RG-33L MRAP so there will be one sometime this year.
RGronovius Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Revell did the Fuchs (03038). Have no idea how much has to be modified for a U.S. version The two basic modifications I know of are the replacing of the German machine gun with that of the M240 in a mount that is the same as the Abrams loaders mount and the same style US smoke grenade launchers that we use on tanks and the M88s. Antenna mounts are different as well as pioneer tools. I am pretty sure MR Modellbau did a detail set to make the Revell kit into a US version. I know they also did better tires and other improvement sets for the Fox/Fuchs. 1
shaynnon Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Posted February 18, 2015 Great information, everyone! I don't know why I had such difficulty in finding these, but so glad a forum like this is around to help me find them. I hope to return the favor at some point.
