Searching for a modell from my childhood

[Miller]

Gentlemen,

i hope, this is the right place to ask for it. I remember having a kind of military semi trailer as a boy. It was die cast and it was in the king size or 1/43 range. I´m not shure, what the trailer was for, but it may be, that just was a lowloader like the one shown on the photos. I found it in an ebay search for something complete different. On these pictures you can see the truck. Its a plastic Roco military modell in 1/87, but sadly there are no further informations with the photo delivered.

Can someone identify the original truck? Is it english or an american vehicle? Or maybe a russian?

Does someone know the casted truck?

Hi Roland, if you google this...Vintage diecast tank transporter toys...you will see several toys and models that may well include the one you are looking for, let us know if you find it.

This is also very similar to the Pacific transporter / lowloader models as made by France Jouets

Hi Roland, just came across your post . Here is a pic that shows the various models the France Jouet - Pacific Transporters.
May help you to figure out which one you had.


Scale on these models was 1/55
The wheel, on the roof of the cab on these models, turned. Allowing the front wheels to be steered.
