I suppose HLJ may stock them; don't think they've hit the shelves yet. The bikes might be ok for Middle East dios too?

Vespa was sold almost everywhere, so I suppose it could fit. Searching rapidly on the net I found that many Vespa collectors are importing vintage biles from the 'nam. Probably it's something like cuban vintage cars...

Are these styrene or resin?

does anybody do a kit of the three whelled Vespa busses (guess I'd call it a buss) that were so common on Highway One? A Desoto truck would be nice as well

Hi Paul

See link above to Modelhobbies...although they don't show it in stock yet. Drop them an email they're (Nick IIRC) pretty quick at replying.

I just noticed on Hobbysearch that Dio Park do a set of C100 (Honda's???) www.1999.co.jp/eng/10169398.

ARII do some 1/32 scale Dihatsu Midgets that might be a good starting point if you want to try converting ?
HLJ is where I've got them from in the past- along with some other civilian vhicles that are appropriate to the era/location.

Modellbau Koenig stocks the Arii cars in 1/32, now.
