Hobby Boss is about to deliver a new M4 High Speed Tractor to the market. My question is whether it would have pulled the 155mm Long Tom. I have the AFV Club Long Tom and would like to team the two together? If the HST didn't pull the Long Tom what did it pull and more importantly - is it available on the market?

Thanks

Hobby Boss actually released two versions of the M4 HST, one is configured with ammo stores for the 90mm AA gun. The other has the option to haul the 155mm Long Tom. Eureka!

Just make sure you buy the right one.

If interested, the other rated vehicle is the Mack NO 7.5 ton truck (by Azimut in resin).

PMMS has reviews of both Hobby Boss M4 HST kits.

If you want the version for the 155 you have to get the kit no. 82408. Beautiful kit btw.
