Thanks!

Love the MAN KAT 1 trucks, hope they do plenty of versions including the British versions and the US m1001/M1002. The missile launcher looks cool too.

Is it the old MAN mould from Revell they use?

I don't think so. Check out the details on the Hobby Boss kit (like the spare wheel holder, or the rims...) :

H.P.

I am interested in the Kraz tractor w/ the missile launcher.

Nice to see more softskins on the market, always in need.

The UK version is different in almost every detail, so don't hold your breath. And we have 2 different chassis/suspension types, HX and SX. A normal control bonneted MAN or one of the civilian-cab types would be more useful as they have been sold much more widely around the world. It's kinda sad that HB have chosen to follow a path already trodden and not find their own.

thanks!

Than hopefully they have a correct cabin interior as well!
And maybe it opens the way to correct 8x8 with the right crane.

The KrAZ looks sweeeeet!!!

The seating on the cargobed is non-German, maybe from Croatia?
I wonder if they include the canvas ccver or just the frame? TR/HB is notorious for NOT including cargoi cover. Another concern is the price. I would say it`s 50 USD plus. Considersing the the re-release of the RoG kit (which isn`t that bad at all) retails here for 22 to 25 Euros. I aslo noticed that the m.g. ring mount is missing. I have to take an extensive wialkaround on the MAN family next weekend.
BTW The exact designation of the truck is:
Lkw 5t mil gl.

KRAZ is an UKRAINIAN and NOT Russian truck.
