Interesting. Judging by the inclusion of the 5th wheel it will probably be the M983.

They say it's a "HEMTT series" on their Facebook page, so hopefully we'll be getting several variants

"Dear modelers, We are honored to present you the brand new 1/35 HEMTT SERIES which will released soon by our NA collaborator Merit International LLC . 100% new tooling! Be ready!"

Nice!

"New tooling" though, what does that mean? A brand new kit/molds or just a reboxed Italeri with added 'new tooled' parts?

Means 100% new mold and there is no possibility to let trumpy and Italeri collaborate unless sunrise from west.

I've always thought the HEMTT was one of our best looking trucks - not unlike the big MAN trucks in the Bundeswehr. I look forward to seeing more of them in new models.

Yahoo, finally the references I gave Trumpeter paid off.
The M983 could indicate that we will see a competiting Patriot to Dragons announcement. Depending on the quality of the announced M1120 HEMTT LHS, I think I will kitbash Trumpeter/Merit and Italeri parts. Ouch, my wallet....
