Hi Jim, That sounds like a great collection. The Hummer sounds exactly like mine and it is 1/6th scale for sure. I've got a 12 inch G.I. Joe doll, Duke, behind the steering wheel, and you know its 1/6th scale if the 12 inch GI Joe's and Barbie dolls can ride in them. Grin.
Which reminds me of one I forgot to mention. I've also got a 1/6th scale RC Harley Davidson motor cycle, and I've got a Barbie that can ride on it. I managed to find a collectable Harley Davidson Barbie doll all dressed up in leather, with a crash helmet, etc and she fits on the cycle, and my wife and I sometimes take turns having her ride around our parking lot. What I really like about the RC Harley is while you are driving it it makes realistic engine noises so I can hear it burn out, rev, and rumble when standing still. I think the next RC vehicle I'll be buying is a submarine or I'll get one of the World War II replica battleships. I've seen huge RC replicas of the Yomato, Biz mark, Missouri, etc which I'd love to get my little paws on and drive them in my in-laws pond. Plus there are some modern replicas of destroyers, aircraft carriers, etc that are all cool. As a military buff that stuff is right up my alley. Cheers!
