It's coming along great. The M816 Wrecker really wouldn't be right for an M1070 HETS in sand paint though. The M816 has been out of US service for about 25 years. The Stryker or any other current vehicle would be better suited.



Yes, Stryker is better.

Hi,

CPK I measured, sketched drawings and sent to the production of PE parts (Edward). Still thinking about adding to the set: antenna, RHINO and other details. Set will be big enough but that was not very expensive.
Miloslav



Thank you very much Miloslav. Any idea of availability date from Eduard ?

Talking about other details that would be very welcome along with the CPK, are the protected fuel tanks, that are seen in 3 diferent options :

Either covered with a protection plate (easy PE going) :
Example 1 : Full plate

Example 2 : perforated plate (still easy to reproduce with PE):

or covered with a kind of a tarp or cushion (to be produced in resin for this one):

Will any of these be part of the Eduard set ?

Best regards,

Richard

It would also be a good idea to have a small resin kit that included all the small things normally found in these transporters like the spot lights on the fenders and bumpers, I even saw LED lights mounted under the visor and driving lights mounted to the cab roof.

Yes, thinking about it. Also, antenna and set RHINO set would be a good.
I have ready to form new correct instrument panel (for Interior set).
