Hey Bob, I was at Menards today and saw some of those in a big bin. Since I was with my boys I didn't stop as we were on a serious mission to get parts to finish an electrical remodel. 

How do the army trucks size up scale wise? Are they similar to their medium duty box trucks? Thanks!!

I would say they are the same scale as the pickups are. The ones that came on the flatcar. These are also highly detailed with opening doors, stretcher  that comes out and a movable  gun.

Thank you!!

Just picked up the set.  Compared to other HMMV models I have (New Millenium, Maisto, Victoria, and Solido) these are large.  The tires measure 1" diameter, the wheelbase is 3.5", and the overall width is 2.5".  Based on the dimensions in the link above, I calculate these to be approximately 1/35.  I had hoped these would be good candidates for 'Streets' conversions, but at their size, they would be larger than the 2 1/2 ton truck and other HMMV conversions that I run.  Will try and post some comparison pictures later.  Although the size is large compared to what I have on my layout, at $2.99 each, they have some very good detail.
