Hi Gang,
saw this new release today in my LHS:

http://www.italeri.com/scheda.asp?idProdotto=2406

The figures are from Masterbox, I wonder if the barricades are from Italeri or borrowed from another company.

Cheers

Maybe inspired from Meng Concrete & Plastic Barrier Set

The same container came in a 5 ton kit.

As stated, the figures are the Master Box US Check Point in Iraq set reboxed.


The barricades do look like they are a combo of the Meng Concrete and Plastic Barriers set and the Barricades and Highway Guardrail set.




The decals are a little confused though. The US ARMY tapes are in ACU, while the 3 ID patches and name tapes are in DCU sand. The patches and name tapes should also be in ACU.

It is actually an S-280 shelter designed to be placed in the back of a 2 1/2 ton or 5 ton truck. As noted, Italeri included it in their M925 Shelter Truck 5-ton kit.


It was also available as a seperate kit.
