Postman just brought me the new Trumpeter HEMTT LHS.
Massive box measuring 20 inch by 12 inch by 4 inch. Well filled with sprues. Includes the 20ft. ISO container. Looks like a lot of building fun.

P.S. Nice gadget, precut aluminum tubes for hydraulic cylinders.

Sounds like a great kit. I bet the LHS parts are much better detailed than the Italeri M1120. I am (hopefully) waiting for the next version with the Container Handling Unit and associated parts as Trumpeter originally showed in its preview pics.

I hope you do continue working on the rear CHU supports.
