Without canvas once again ! Bad.

Wheels seems to have the same diameter than the ones of the truck.

But I hope that there will be resin wheels with a "sagged" effect for it, otherwise we will have to arrange with the existing wheels.

According to this chart, the M1082 trailer is fitted with 275/70R22.5 tires, whereas the FMTV series trucks are fitted with 395/85R20 tires...

Hi there, just checked my photos. M1095 MTVT use the 395/85 R20, so it`s highly likely thet the M1082 use the same. I guess that no problem using existing sagged tires on the kit, and it´s possible to see AM tires for this kit.

Interesting link. Thank you Frenchy.

Dimensions wheels between the truck and the trailer are rather close.

I guess H.H. is right, as using the same tires sounds more logical, logistically speaking

For Radian Armor Crew Kit cabs,
I don't know the reason, but some of them have more bolts than others.

example:





In comparison, same cabs with less bolts. The trumpeter kit depict this cab.

Heard that a German company is working on a vacuformed canvas for FMTV. But I wouldn´t hold my breath for this.

M1082 LMTVT finally avaiable in Germany. 22 EURO seems a fair price.

Nice, $22 EUR is a decent price. I may have to get one to go w/my M1078 Armored Cab.
