5 Ton Truck Kit?

[Dieselhead]

I'm hoping this is the right board. Do you know if anyone makes a (preferably 1/24 or 1/25 scale) kit of the 5 Ton army trucks, also know as the M939 family? I have a soft spot for these trucks and would love to build one. Thanks!

The only M939 5-ton that I know of is the 1/35 Italeri M923 kit.  There are some 1/35 resin conversion kits available, too, but they are VERY expensive.

Not sure of weight spec's But Military Vehicles ARE offered in 1/25 as PAPEr MODELS

 

Look for GPM, Orlik, PK Grafika, and others 

I have a US Half-Track and an Opel Blitz that can be a Box van Ambulance or stake bed.

Also Several Different versions of the US Deuce & Half and Older Studebaker

Army trucks are out there

Stakebed, Tanker, Semi Cab, etc

 

There is also a DUKW available, but I have never found one to buy

 

The FORD Amphibian Jeep is also available 

And different vehicles from other armies too

One of its WW II predecessors is occasionally available in a 1/24 resin kit...

And there's a later M35 in paper, 1/25...    

There is also an M925 3D model that some enterprising young man could doubtless convert to STL files and have it 3D-printed...
