Hello,
This is my first post to this forum - I don't own an M715, yet.
However, I am looking for a scale model of the M715.
Is there or has there ever been a scale model (plastic, resin, diecast) of the M715?
I saw there was an announcement of one being produced in Germany back in 2006, did that ever pan out?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
There's a Matchbox-sized version, but pretty hard to find. They do show up on eBay from time to time, from what I hear. (I don't look lest I decide I need to bid on it!)
And I haven't heard anything further about the German company that was talking of producing one. Brute? Have you by chance learned anything further on that?
Welcome to the board, Bob! :welcome:
Yep, there is a 1/87 or HO scale made by Trident for HO scale train modeling. I don't think it is that hard to get, I see it list in the catalogs all the time. It would be nice if the 1/35 version ever did come out. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. They probably determined that there is not enough market out there for it. You could always do like I did, and build your own from scratch. I found a 1/18 scale Wagoneer that I chopped apart for the front clip and doors. The rest is scratch built from styrene plastic.

Dave, everytime I see that truck, I am always amazed....It looks like you took a real one and just shrunk it down. That is what you did, right? :)
