Hi guys,

I just discovered the Accurate Armour sells spare DROPS flatracks. Now I wonder if these flatracks could be use with the US Army M1120 HEMTT LHS. Since both vehicles use the Multilift system, I guess the flatracks should be the same.

TIA

Hi

British and US flatracks are similar but not the same :

Here's a US M1077 flatrack built by Oshkosh :



and here's s British-built (by Marshall SPV Ltd) 20-foot flatrack, like the one replicated by Accurate Armour :

Hi Frenchy,

I am aware that they are not the same. I was aware that the US version has additional stowage boxes. What matters to me that
I don`t have to build the entire flatrack from scratch. I also noticed that 2nd Cav uses two or three different types of flatracks. Close enough to spend some 26 GBP on the AA kit.

Thanks

Just a thought, but you could save your self a great heap of money and build stacks of flatracks in quick time for 1/35 scale.

There is not much to them, with the frame being mainly box section, U channel and angle.

If you need the basic dimensions and shape, have a look at
DAF DROPS and Flatrack

It is amazing how quickly you could knock one out. PM me if you want a drawing of the British version for the sizes as a reference.

Good luck

Hope they are of use

UK version









All the best
