Just don't get it. They have the base for the HIMARS, and the M4 Command Vehicle, Have announced the HIMARS and come up with the THAAD. Well...Trumpeter you have the Base truck and the lift mech. How about a M1074/75 PLS.

Kit is announced by other manufacturer - I wish manufacturer "B" would make one. Manufacturer "B" announces same kit - why don't you make "xyz" instead? I'm happy to see competition.

Yet another HEMTT variant I need! Work is really getting in the way of my modeling.

It's the trumpeter kit for me. Dragon uses the old italeri molds. And its being releases by black label...

Wow, given the shite on the Korean peninsula, this couldn't be more timely.

Dragon's Black Label releases have been pretty disappointing. I'll go with the Trumpeter version.

I wish Trumpeter would release a 1/25 1960 DeSoto Adventurer. That should be good for a 1200 parts count kit.

Gino, according to Trumpeter's info on Facebook they're saying the THAAD is on for October.

I hope so. That should mean the M1120 LHS will be available then, or sooner as well since the THAAD vehicle is a modified M1120 LHS.

Ya Bill, I was just thinking the same think re: how timely this release was considering the Fun 'n Games out of North Korea. Looks to be one hellofa kit.

Trumpeter just announced the North Korean variant of the scud b - Hwasong-5. Probably a few minor updates to the scud kit with new decals
