Can someone who has built the Trumpeter M915 confirm this for me? Looking at the instructions, there appear to be no air brake parts for the front wheels?

Rear air brakes added in step 5.


Front wheels built and added (sans air brake parts) in step 6 (bottom right).


There should be front air brakes, as shown here.


Trumpeter seems to have an issue with front air brakes. Their initial issue of the M983A2 HEMTT Tractor was also missing the front air brakes. In their later M983A2 LET w/M870A1 trailer kit, they added an additional sprue with the front air brake assemblies.

Looking at mine right now Gino, built and ready for paint, and you’re correct, nothing on front wheels in regards to breaks. Hadn’t noticed until you brought it up.

Thanks for confirming it. Looks like I will need to use another set of Mike's 3D printed air brake cylinders for this one too. He made them for the Trumpeter M983A2 kit to fix that omission. I used them on my M1074 PLS and an Italeri M923 as well, same basic brakes. They will work on this one too.

Those look nice! 👍
