Have not done anything with this yet. Well except for taking it out and 4 wheeling in the snow. Anyway all I plan on doing is cutting the doors and putting them on hinges so it can be used for figure. It was listed as 1:16 but it seems much closer to 1:18. Took lots of comparison pictures with different Joe vehicles.

I think that the M35 is currently in service in the US Army. I know it was used as recently as Operation Iraq Freedom. It is also currently in service in the Canadian military.
I am just going to leave it as is, aside from opening the doors and what ever painting I have to do in order to cover up that modification.

I have never seen that truck as a toy before. Where did you pick it up? The size looks spot on.

It does seem pretty dead on. It claims to be 1:16 but I think it is 1:18. It needs the doors cut open and hinged and some leg room arranged.
It is from China on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-16-4WD-RC...72.m2749.l2649 They also have a flat nose military truck like you see over seas. https://www.ebay.com/p/1-16-4wd-RC-M....c100005.m1851

i am currently deployed in a place i am only allowed to discribe as "an undisclosed location in se asia" and i can safelty say in the several base's i've been to here i have never seen anything like that.
what i meant by old is the nose on that thing looks like its out of the 2nd world war. i saw this thing for sale a few months ago on aliexpress, i checked last night and they still have them pretty cheap. |

Why the price difference at AliExpress for what looks like the same M35? Is it different quality? I have never purchased from AliExpress before but have read it another type of Amazon or Ebay. Also are the NECA figure on AliExpress real or bootlegs or is there no way of knowing?

price difference is probably because your cutting out the middle man and dealing with someone from the factory who is makeing the KO stuff. plus aliexpress is more for the foreign market. they same sellers will sell the same thing on ebay but marked up slightly because they know westerns got more money.
its more amazon then ebay. ebay is mostly bidding with some buy it now stuff. aliexpress is all buy it now stuff. and you can buy in bulk. some stuff is fresh off the line in a different box. some stuff is a bad KO so zoom in on the pix and check for yourself. i've had more good luck then bad.
