Both sets look very good. The troops unloading the truck will be very useful. Nice to see some figures of female soldiers too. I also like the stretcher bearers. Very nice. Any hint as to when they could be available?

Great addition Gao
Does that mean that the M1133 will come with an interior ??
Cheers

These look pretty good. Probably won't be too expensive either. I wonder if the supplies boxes are included in the set?

That should not be a problem, since Trumpeter adds some boxes with their Stryker kits, the ones shown here seem to be the same.

Wow, those look far better than the current modern sets they've been kitting. That truck unloading one would have a lot of possibilities for dioramas.

I never knew that, cheers.

Finally, we'll see some improved Trumpeter figures? They look very very nice.
Happy modeling!

Amazing.I can't wait.Trumpeter is so on top of things.
The only problem is that they're always taking my money.

These do look very good indeed. I hope that some British, Canadian and other allied forces in Iraq and Afghanistan will get the same attention sometime soon. The increased interest in modern armour and softskins makes it necessary to have some modern figures to accompany them. Even some modern Chinese (what happened to Dragon's set from a few years back?) would be great to have with the Chinese armour from Hobby Boss and Trumpeter.

Any word yet on when the stretcher party will be released? The supply team was released last month, so . . . . .

I just received my set of Logistics Troops and they look very nice. The figures look to be about the same quality as some of Dragon's latest (non-Gen 2) figures. They look to be the proper height and have no bloby parts (like the boots in their PCM figures) . The female heads are really nicely cast and look feminine. The afro-american head is also molded well and looks the part. They also come with a full sprue of MOLLE gear and 4 complete M16/M4s (2 each) and a sprue of weapons accessories (sights, grips, magazines, etc.) Also included are a sheet of woodland camo and a sheet of 3-color DCU camo decals and paper MRE boxes. There must have been a licensing issue with the Coke and Pepse boxes though. They are not included in the kit and have been blurred out on the packaging.
Overall, they look very good and usable.

Gino;
I have had mine for a month mow and to be honest haven't taken a close look yet, but the quick glance I did take looked good. I am hopeful the stretcher party comes out soon as I think it will push me to start on my 1133. Cheers.
