Does anyone know where I might be able to find a 1/24 or 1/25 scale snowplow that you would find on a pickup truck. I've read some post that reference an old MPC jeep kit that had one. The few that I have seen for sale (on eBay) are quite pricey, a bit more than I want to spend just for the plow! Maybe a cast resin piece is in the works???

I recall my local shop having a resin snow plow made for a pickup truck. It's probably been gone for about a year. Unfortunately, I do not recall who did it. I remember it was hanging on the pegboard where the Chimney police and fire decals were. Rob Gronovius Modern US armor at
It should be simple to make up using Evergreen or Plastruct I-beams, tubing and sheet plastic. Just go down to your local auto parts store and look at a 1 - 1 version for the details.

Thanks for the replies. I have the big kids verion in the driveway so I'll attempt a scratch build - it will be my first scratch project ever! Wish me luck.

Good luck. You could probably use sheet brass for the blade portion. Now get over here and plow my driveway! 8^) Beers,

I wonder if the Academy M9 dozer blade in 1/35 scale would be around the size of a pickup truck snow blade in 1/24? That blade is sold for around $2.50-$3.

Home-garaging ? I always wondered how the guy who drives the snowplough gets to work .
You betcha! Waited for triple A for two hours yesterday, finally got pulled out by a neighbor with a duallie. Supposed to be in the forties next week, can't wait for the melt. Beers,
