What can this chassis frame by Trumpy be?

WOW Dennis I really triggered something with my brief remarks didn't I?

I would never fault any modeler who wants to add unseen detail to an armor model. I have certainly been guilty of that wonderful sin myself.

It is each modeler's personal choice!

Like you, I just like those big military trucks with all that visible detail.

To each his own in this great hobby!

p.s. Love your comment; "a brick on wheels". Never heard that one before!
(I'm a Southern Pacific/Western Pacific fan myself and also crazy about geared locomotives.)

(repeated UMPTEEN times)

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! (photos of Steam Locomotives- You guys should see my personal home-library!)

Mike, and the rest of you fellas:

PLEASE don't get me wrong about Tank models which include Interiors- My comments regarding said Tank Interiors, reflect only my own personal preferences in modelling Tanks. I do have ONE 1/35 DRAGON M4 that I embellished with a "full" Interior, and a T8E1 using an AFV CLUB M5A1 and a VERLINDEN T8E1 Conversion kit. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, my "open-topped" armored vehicles get the "full treatment" as far as their Interiors and Exteriors are concerned. My credo- "Hooray for PE, Sheet Plastic and Resin!!"

STILL

Yeah, I've called "Diesels" (Diesel Locomotives) "Bricks on Wheels" and "Stink-Wagons" for about the last six hundred years, now!

Well, ever since I can remember, anyhow... Nope, don't care for 'em a'tall! No character or charisma, if you will. At the distinct risk of being called "sexist" or "politically incorrect", I will keep referring to a Steam Locomotive, a favorite Car, Aircraft or Ship, as "SHE", whereas a Diesel Locomotive... Is an "IT"...

My catch phrase for them was 'Dismals"!

As much as I would like this new offering to be one of my personal choices, for now I am going to put my money on it being the Smerch service/reload vehicle.

Having seen Zvezda's Iskander announcement, what are the chances this chassis is also one of these in 1/35? Are they sharing the same chassis?

The Iskander seems to be a definite possibility.
