I'm sure some AM company will get there first. Some stowage sets would be good too.

Looks good to me. I'l be getting one.
Why do you need a specific AM/resin stowage set for it? Its a truck, just load it up with general gear, packs, equipment, soldiers, etc. Any stowage will work. The Tamiya Modern US Military Equipment Set (kit #35266) will do nicely to fill it up.

Very nice looking kit
I need to start making room in my closet for all these modern vehicles they're planning on releasing!

I didn't look close enough to see that the 'side boards' were seats.

Not necessarily a Guntruck...But there is the armored cab version.
Who will be the first AM company to come out w/this?

Good news! But what I really would like to see is a 5 ton version, i.e. M1083 or M1084 - I hope it is going to be released too!
