Crud. Still no 1/35 US Staff Car ? All three of the German cares have been made, Kubel/Schwimwagen, Horch, etc.
Not even Monty's Humber is in 1/35.
Is 1/48 the new model trend ? Hasegawa added a staff car with a Fw190 recently
Why no 1/35 US Staff Car???

After all, Bandai had been very active in this scale "back when".
I don't see Dragon abandoning the 1/35 scale marketplace, but a slowdown in their offerings would be welcomed. Trumpeter also shows no sign of slowing down, but finishing the KV line would also be welcomed. : : Why no 1/35 US Staff Car??? : In all seriousness, licensing may be a problem. This licensing crapola is what it is, but companies can get away with it, so we are stuck with it - at least, until we transport all lawyers and politicians (a sub-species of lawyerus contemptious) to the moon, sans oxygen.
The other problem, as I mentioned above, is a lack of black crosses to sell them.
