Having just brought one of each of these trucks, for a future project, can any one help me with any photos or links to web site for these vechicles in Israeli use, as i have a idea for a diorama possibly with both on it.

Martin, a question for you: does the HEMMTT kit (either one) include much chassis detail? I'm thinking engine/trans/ driveshafts/ etc? Can't seem to find kit reviews that tell me about that.

Hi guys,

I was learned that Real Models ( Miloslav Hraban ) was working on an engine and transmission for the HEMTT-series.
But uptill now nothing has been delivered !!

Hi Greg, regards detail on either the kits there is a a fare amount of chassie detail from looking at the instruction sheets, very little engine detail. PRO- ART Models have sets of exterior updates for either hemtt, including one for the rear of the fuel tanker and one to up date the crane. the one thing that does need replacing are the wheels they are very poor in the kit, tank works shop do a set either michelin or good year and also do Pro art.
