No M1142? That is very disappointing.
OK, we got a HEMTT anyway, but not the one they've been teasing us with. Anyone hear anything more?

(And if I may, can you tell me the difference between the M1120 LHS and the M1120 CHU? Do I really need another HEMTT?)

Thanks!
Gary

Thanks, Robin!

(I have secretly also been hoping for an airport truck. I could be in the old-age home by then, though.)

Thanks!

I was wondering about the FAMO myself, especially after I painstakingly kitbashed and modified mine into the Artillery tractor version that Trumpeter is now -naturally- about to offer. Nice to see the 1979 production T72 being offered.

These are NOT December releases!

This is merely their twelfth announcement of 2019 and it is clearly dated 31 October 2019. It will be several months before the kits announced in this release are available. The ones in the 31 May announcement are just now coming on sale.

I mention this only in hope of avoiding posts on New Year's Eve crying about Trumpeter's slow releases . . .

That's fine, Kurt, except that they announced the FAMO some months ago...
