Don’t know if any of our modern fans are aware of this future release but I just thought I’d highlight it. As far as I’m concerned it looks super cool http://www.hlj.com/product/TRP01011
I think that’s actually pretty cool. You see these all over the highways, traveling to and fro. It would be neat to build one up.
It’s the Marine Corps’ 7 ton MTVR or Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement.
We don’t have anything like that over here but it looks huge.
They are actually releasing a couple. As I posted a few days ago in the Nurenburg Toy Fair pics thread.
I am looking forward to the announced modern soft skins.
Trumpeter is showing the USMC 7-ton MTVR.
As well as an Armored Cab M1078.
Also the Ural BM-21.
Mengs new offerings look nice too.
Toyota Land Cruiser 70 w/ZU-23-2 pick up.
And Armored D9R Dozer.
Thanks for the pics Gino, I’ve been waiting on that armoured cab for ever, just love it.
The MTVR does bear a passing resemblance to the old Bigfoot Prime Mover doesn’t it?
I think that ICM (?) had released that Ural BM-21 a few years back with a cool figures set of Taliban-like figures? It was pretty cool.
That Armored Bulldozer goes on my “must have” list! What a BEAST!
ICM re-released the Eastern Express/Alan/Revell… and other Eastern Europen producers BM-21 kit. It was an OK kit wit typical Eastern European manufacturer’s thick plastic, soft details, etc. The figures sucked and are not even worth mentioning.
I’m sure Trumpeter’s version will be light-years ahead of it.
