not sure but I think that would require some fairly significant re-working. Dont think the 915 was 6x10.... the Dump truck is, and also has a third set tag axle. The frames longer by a couple feet too I THINK... not sure on that one.

Yes Please with the M915 Truck - I have always wanted one of these but could never master the resin A/M kits (or the price tags !)

Per HeavyArty, M915 is a 4x6, while the M916 is a 6x6 version of truck

Did the ASU 57 disappear from the catalog, I swear I saw it there when Trumpeter initially shared a couple shots of some of the armour pages.....

The M917 was a 8x6 vehicle, the 2nd axle was a lift. The M917, M919, and the M920 were all 8x6, where as the M916 and M918 were all 6x6.

Isn't Merit making a 1/35 trailer and 40' container.


Trumpeter has had the 40' Container kit out for some time.



Trumpeter and Merit are the same company, just two different lines. Merit originally announced the M915 and M872 trailer. They are now showing up under Trumpeter. The same happened with the M270 MLRS/MARS series as well.
