Hi, All! Don't know if this new HOBBY BOSS kit has been mentioned on this site yet, so here goes: HOBBY BOSS 1/35 83830 CCKW 750 Gal. Tanker, which according to the Cybermodeller hobby site, is slated for an April, 2014 launch. No other notes regarding this new kit- Fuel Tanker or Water Tanker, Hard or Soft Cab..? Anyone else hear about this thing?

Would be nice to see other CCKW 352/353 trucks, especially the regular stake-body troop carriers, (with TARPS, PLEASE) and separate kits with Hard and Soft Cabs. Still waiting for the WWII Dodge WC-series Ambulance. Do we have any takers?

The SWB 750 gallon truck is a hard cab.
Also coming is the CCKW 352 hard cab.

Thanks for your reply! The CCKW Tanker in the release photo is actually a LWB (Long Wheelbase) CCKW 353 Truck. The tank application would not have fit on a SWB CCKW 352 chassis...

What a great lineup from HOBBY BOSS, 2014...

Ah yes, you're right Dennis. I noted the spare tire rack behind the cab and just went from there. Regardless, I'll want both! Probably multiples of the SWB 352.

Seen them, want them!

I'd also like to see the ACKW-353 COE (Cab Over Engine) version in plastic someday...

Got One! the 750 Gallon Tanker that is...

my comments here on the review thread.

This kit has already been reviewed and some serious short comings have been noted in two other threads:
