It looks like that Trumpeter will release the M1120 LHS kit with 20 foot container only. I search for single flatracks preferably M3 CROP to put on Trumpeter kit. AFAIK Accurate Armour has individual DROPS flatracks. Looks like the only option is another scratchbuild.

I haven't seen any flatracks sold by themselves. The only flatrack I know of is the one in the Italeri M1120 kit. The flatrack is new-mold and looks pretty nice with a detailed bed, tie-down loops, and underside.

How about buying the M1120 flatrack sprue (kit# 6525, sprue F) from Italeri like was mentioned in this thread. Seems like it worked for the gun ring sprue.

EDIT: Apparently MMK does a flatrack, but it looks different than any version I have seen.

I need the M3 CROP since I saw them on many M1120`s over here. But I think I get the Italeri flatrack and converting it in M1 FR. But as always I will wait for thing to come, nobody knows what the companies will release in the future.

Looks like a Czech model, made by Charvat-CTS
