Hello friends
I'm building Italeri HUMTT in 1/35 scale
but in place of rear trunck, I want to add Container using same Italeri's 20` military Container

is it looks real or it's unpossable ?

i have no idea wich version of the HEMMT it is but, i've seen them with the smaller containers

Although these are strapped on, Italeri's one will work too?



just my 2 cent's

What you have pictures is the M1120 HEMTT LHS (Load Handling System). It is a removable flatrack that can be loaded and unloaded off the back of a modified HEMTT chassis.




There is no version that mounts a 20' connex directly to the frame of the HEMTT. You could have one in the bed as cargo though. Remove the sidewalls and rear wall of the bed and place the connex onto the now fllatbed of the HEMTT. Strap it down with heavy duty cargo straps and you will be good.

Sort of like this.

Unless you wait for this one (assuming it's true)

I hope it is. It would be pretty easy to convert an M1120 into an M1074 PLS (Palletized Load System). It carries heavier loads and is used as an ammo carrier for Arty units.

I've been waiting 10 years for a 1/35 M1074 PLS.
I don't think its as easy as it looks at first--LOTS of detail changes specifically in the engine layout

It wouldn't be too bad. You would already have the hardest parts (flatrack, hook, all its fittings, etc.). Reconfiguring the engine area and the different hydraulic tanks would be the easy part. You would need a third rear axle and steering mechanism (like the HETTS) though. Still not too hard of a conversion in my eyes.

We had PLS versions carrying 20' CONEX boxes all the time when I was in Iraq in 09. Funny story ( sort of). Distrobution plt got a call to pick up a conex in our yard, transport it to x fob, and drop it off. They set up with the PLS, lifted the load, and whatever was inside shifted. It hit the doors so hard it bent the bars that hold them in place. We had to beat the devil out of them with a sledge to open the conex. Turns out it was full of dimensional lumber and the whole load shifted.

Ill see if I have a picture of it.
