Well for sure Angel.
Lesson learnt, keep talking about kits. Show loads of pictures. Scratch build it and the kit will come.
You've seen Trumpeters announcements with the Mercedes Benz L4500A's. Same as above on ML

This one looks very good, though without the radio gear for the interior I might take a "pass."
And did this one get featured in the News here? I don't recall seeing it:

Looking at the bottom left of the sprue shot, there appears to be an interior sprue in yellow. With the windows, I don't see how Bronco can avoid some sort of internal detail. I can see some boxy shapes on the sprue which could be radios.

Great. I saw this subject in the Military modeler magazine in '1980s for the first time.

Would make a good companion piece for Dragon's Opel Blitz radio truck that appeared and then disappeared a few years back. I'm now converting the ambulance version into the radio truck as the radio version seems deleted from their offerings.
