Does anyone know if there's a GZG equivalent for the gecko scout vehicle in
6mm? I've seen a few listings for wheeled scouts in the catalog PDF's and on
google, but I haven't found any photos.

The closest is DF-S13, light wheel scout vehicles, pack of 5. Sorry I
don't have a photo of it (or even one to hand that I could snap a quick pic
of, since I'm on the home computer and all the stock is 25
miles away at the workshop), but it's a little 4-wheel closed-cab
buggy type vehicle that I think will fit your needs well.

I have a couple of images (not good ones) from a DS3 game.

Here are links:

The scout vehicle, while nice, looks NOTHING like the gecko produced by Old
Crow. Not positive that that's what you were asking.:)

It's a small, four wheeled vehicle with a very boxy cab on the front and a
small (RFAC) on the roof. The back looks like it could be a
half-exposed engine.

Again, I like it, but it's not a gecko.

Oh, that website will be up for the next couple of hours, and then is likely
to go down for a good week or so. I'm moving offices and it'll be packed away
for a bit.

Sorry,

J

I may not have been clear in my reply, John and Robert - I wasn't
saying that S13 was a Gecko lookalike, merely that it might serve as a proxy
in 6mm, in that it is designed to fit the same role (that of a light fast
wheeled scout buggy). I thought OC's Gecko was their
4-wheeler, or is it the 6?
Thanks for digging out the pics, and good luck for the work move!  ;-)

I can't get the page to load atm but I'll keep checking. Thanks for the help!

The gecko is a four-wheeler; there's also a pickup model and the
goanna 6-wheel version. It's got a nice muscular look to it, and
though I don't see a lot of ground clearance it may be assumed to have
adaptive suspension.

Sorry, the page is down until likely mid next week. Office moves.:P

And yeah, the gecko is a really nice design!
