The thing I was wondering was how do you get the ax out? They did go a little crazy on the lug nuts. This was the only view I saw.
Has anyone seen any others?

If one is going to develop a model of the M715, why would they do it as a fire truck? Like that!
I have never seen one of these personally, but it's the only one I've ever seen for sale

Its in there...
I built mine in 1/18 scale which is quite common in the diecast vehicles. I ended up having to use parts from 3 vehicles to make the one i wanted. A 1/18 Jeep wagoneer diecast provided the front half, a XD Command Car for the drive train and other bits and pieces, and a XD M151 mutt for M-series items like lights and radio mounts, and the seats. Plus quite a lot of scratch building of items like the box, troop seats, removable soft top, grill guard. It was a challenge to figure out what parts were needed to kitbash them together to make an M715. I wanted it to function like the real thing so it has features like removable soft top, removable soft top frame, folding troop seats, removable troop seats, folding windshield. The only feature I didn't get to work with it was a hindged tailgate. The funky hindges the fold out to clear the rear bumperettes and lets the tailgate fold all the way down. This was just too hard to make in 1/18 scale and make it sturdy enough to work well.
