Hot Wheels & Roco





















Hot Wheels has made this truck several times in the last 20 years in several colors. They come in green, and yellow and also civilian colors. They usually have a canvas top that is camoflague.





















The wheels were singles in the rear duals but that's okay because the Army did have trucks in that configuration.




















As you can see from this front end view, the Hot Wheels truck is nearly the same size at the Roco. I like the Hot Wheels because it is only a dollar, it is very durable, it looks pretty accurate, in some ways better than the Roco for the post war truck.






















Keep your eyes open when you go to the toy department, sometimes you find a little gem.

Looks similar to the trucks that were produced back in the 70's as part of the MASH TV series sets.

They are similar, but this is a different casting and from Hot Wheels. The wheels on this one are also not chrome which is nicer. Thanks for reading.
