Even if the interior is better than the HB V-100 interior, you just know that some AM will address the latest tweaks to the interior, and fine by me.

Wow kinda of a crappy build by who ever built it...only 2 of the 4 tires touch the ground. Anyways If I can get one for around $30 bucks I'll pick it up. I have some photos I took of one at an Airshow from a year or two ago.

Roger that Cant wait for this one

I took a look through my photos and I couldn't find the photos I took! Ugh...thankfully my friend took some also at the same time. I do see the M1117 all the time where I work at, but I don't have "offical" access to the motorpool where they are at. Going back to the Trumpeter kit, its pretty good looking...the biggest issue I see with it (outside of the really bad spelling on the decals) is the rearview mirror look too wide and the mounting hardware is wrong, it should have a bar going down from where it stops at the top the mirror going down at a 45 or so degree angle to the hull and couple additional reinforcements. Nothing some Stryne tubing couldn't take care of!

Keeping my eye out for this one. Hope they get the details right.. For modern Trump is the place to be but wish the build with the quality of an AFV club!! Rounds Complete!!

I'm game for this kit. It will be a nice addition to my modern 1/35 collection. Tony

Maybe the've taken pics like these for reference (early mount ?) : Frenchy

Any idea (Gaoyue) on photoetched, other materials, possible interior, highlights/features of this kit? Thanks Evan

Oh Yah! Great shots of the finished product. I hope this one isn't priced too high (like the FMTV Truck). I am not buying a lot of new kits this year because of the back log I have already, but this one might make it to the workbench early. I see the tire seem is on top of the tread for this kit. I understand the seem is part of the mold making process. The FMTV tire seem ran the lower part of the tread, and was not easy to get rid of. Maybe the thought was, "out of sight, out of mind", but it seemed to stand out in there. I guess as a model builder, it would be nice to see that seem run along the edge of the tread and sidewall, but that might not be ideal for the manufacturer... Thanks for the review/preview,
