Looks like Pro Art Models have a special forces LMTV in the works, see Hugo Luyten's build on Facebook:

Looks stunning, as does Hugo's build!

One could go to the Pro Arts Models website and see detailed instructions of the kit. No kit photos yet. Still, the instructions give a very good image of how this kit will look like.

Now my question would be if any competitor will follow suit with their own "War Pig."

Hi guys,
Seb sent me the link (Thanks Seb). I'm glad you like it. Sorry, but I can't attend Euro this year.
I was happy to have The chance to build the prototyp, including Pro Art's future sets like his fantastic backpacks and other acc. It was really big fun to build and paint this War Pig, I'm sure this multimedia kit will Find his way to Modern builders. Thank you for looking,
Hugo

Wow. I may need to get one of these to accompany my MK Model Czech TATRA 815 SOT Special Forces "Guntruck" so it's not lonely on my to build pile...

And, great build Hugo. Stunning work!

It's always that way. You have it half way done scratch building it. Not counting trying to get all the parts you need. (which a lot of PRO ART and Legend) Then they come out with a conversion. You now I have to get one too
