FoW, I'd guess. Too big for GQW, not sure what other major WWII microarmor manufaturers there are.

FoW is 15mm though....surely their stuff'd be heaps bigger than that.

GHQ (1:285/6mm) BMP-2 with SG Chimaera. I think the GHQ stuff is 'true' 6mm instead of 'heroic' 6mm. Two and a half times that would be about on target for that truck.

You don't happen to have a comparison between the Minifigs M113 and a Rhino do you L4?

Sorry Carrington, I don't have a MiniFig M113 ... But I did command a M113 Mech Co. back in '87-'89 ... ;D Not that it matters ... :D However based on the Minifig vehicles I have, I'd think their M113 would be the size of the E:A Rhino which is bigger that any of the other Epic Rhinos ...

I plan on using the MiniFig models for some Ork Vehicles, so yes, I think the LRDG Truck would work for LatD Transport ... Here's pics of what Minifigs I do have ... Image WWII Marmon-Harrington Armored Cars & Italian Auto Saharian Truck Image ... Rolls-Royce A/C, IJA Sumida A/C and WWI German A7V MBT ... All these MiniFig models should make a good OrkFrika Korp Warband ... ;D

Heh.. no need to have the figure if you've lived in it. And I imagine a fire-truck red "Detroit pattern Rhino" would generate a certain amount of queasiness.

Sad thing is that minifigs sells their 10mm M113s and A7Vs for about the same price as GW's Rhinos and Raiders -- Frak GW, as you say.

Yeah, as I have said many times before, Circus Color Rhinos or other AFVs drives me crazy !!! :o We spent so much time trying not to be a target, and G/W paints'm like "Big Bright Targets" !! ;D If I ever get a Tatoo ... it would say FRAKK G/W !!! !!! ;D

As for camouflage OGRE say something perhaps thought worthy... The EyeBall Mk I is made superfluous by advanced sensor tech's. So vehicles can be painted in bright parade ground colours. :-X

:-). Of course that's kind of like saying that microsoft's spell-checking and grammar-checking have made editors obsolete.

Yes, a few bitz added here & there, maybe a weapons upgrade or two ... an Ork sticking out of a hatch or Orks riding in the back and driving some of the vehicles, appropriate decals ... and I've got a Orkfrika Korps Warband ... ;D ;D
