Default Trumpeter Nuremberg 2019

Some nice things coming our way in 1/16. Appears they haven't given up on the old halftrack nor T34 & Tiger, either.

I would expect these will be light years better than most existing 1/16 toy trucks on the market.

Oh my! I could mine that for Abrams add on parts. Should I dream that the machine gun turret rotates? Is it 4x4? Keep us posted.

I have the static version of both of those MRAPs and the machine gun turret can rotate. The Trumpeter/WSN Half-Tracks have been available on Ebay for months now so it just begs the question as to when the R/C MRAPs will hit the market. I bought mine in hopes of converting them, but I have way too many projects right now to do so. The WPL parts look like they will work really nice for the conversions unless I decide to just sell my unbuilt MRAP kits and replace them with WSN R/C versions... That is if and when we see them on the market.

I saw those too, but I've been holding out for a RC version.

Got to get one myself since my son spent a lot of time in the turret riding around in Helmand a few years ago.

Not sure if they improvised their Cougar like these Marine did but lots of mods possible.

Nice. I like how they positioned the MRE box right over the bomb bay hatch. Clever.

Hopefully the toilet is mine resistant. LOL. Didn't know these vehicles were so equipped.
