I'm currently searching for a 1:18th scaled Armored Transport, would anyone have any ideas on finding one?

preferably with a opening back hatch for transport?
Any help would be appreciated!

I'd go with the BBI LAV, Falcon Chile's apc at www.foxholetoys.com pre order, or Bravo Team LAV on EBAY. Both have opening backs. You could saw off the turret move it forward plug the hole. Just a thought!

would the PTE IFV not be the same vehicle just with 6 wheels ?

I know this,but with a little imagination I can make it work!
And the only reason I thought of it was because of it's affordability

The vintage GIJoe Warthog would also do nicely (in either olive drab or black colors). Just remove those two massive rockets. :)

There was a Chap-Mei Warthog style vehicle, IIRC TRU sold it, not sure if they still do as its not on their website.
Steel Badger (http://www.amazon.com/True-Heroes-Steel-Badger-Playset/dp/B004IULP0M/ref=sr_1_22?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1303622679&sr=1-22)
The TRU one was a LOT cheaper. I wouldn't pay $50 for that.
If wheels and customizing are options, there's the armored police van True Heroes Police Force SWAT van (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3887729)
