Hi There.
A question to all AM manufacturers reading here. Are there any plans to release resin tires, as well as lenses of even container for this kit?
Any answers are welcome.
Kind regards...

Haven't heard any word yet, but I'm sure in time you'll see that DEF model will release some sort of set, maybe ET model or Voyager as well.

I believe Accurate Armour was releasing the decals from their resin container separately. They are not showing on their products page though.

It may have been Miniman Factory though.

The Trumpeter M915 kit comes with a 40 foot container. He is looking for additional decals for the container, not the container itself.

Also, Italeri's container is a 20' container. Trumpeter also offers a 20' and a 40' container as separate kits. Trumpeter's are better, but are lacking in decal options.

Miniman Factory indeed anounced they would sell the container decals separately.

I'm actually building this kit now.Its not bad, there isn't a full engine in it and I'm ok with that. I did some quick comparison to my Miniman Factory M915 and found the the MMF cab doors are a little wider and the wheels are a hair taller. The Cab rivets are not as big on the trumpeter kit and kind of makes the cab look plan. Also the rubber wheels are tricky to get onto the rims and I have already lost a couple of the cab maker lights which I'll replace with a blob of C/A and filed to shape.
