Hi Everybody
It has been at least 4 years since I build anything, so I am trying now to get back in to building stuff.
Model is very nice, I liked how the wheels could be made turned with minimum effort, trailer is easy to build as well, only thing I have really changed is th wood planks, I have removed plastic and replaced with wooden coffee stirrers, looks more realistic to me.
I will put M9 Ace as load once finish:

Nice return!

I can see the grain in the wooden planks. Well done!

Very nice. It came out great. A couple issues that Trumpeter messed up though. The first is the truck should have a roller at the rear end of the frame.

This is an M983A4 LET (Light Equipment Transporter), but the rear frame is the same.


Also, Trumpeter left the decals for their M983A2 Patriot prime mover in this kit; Air Defense Artillery (ADA) markings. They are for an ADA unit. The M983A2 LET is used by engineer units. The trailer has proper engineer markings. If you were to put similar markings on the truck, it would be more correct.

Again, this is an M983A4 LET, but if you blow it up, you will be able to read the Engineer markings. Looking from the front, they read as follows: left side 18 MP/15 EN (18 MP BDE, 15 Engineer BN); right side 500-245 (500 EN Company, vehicle 245).


"M983A4 LET w/M870A2 trailer and D7R-II Bulldozer; 15th Engineer Battalion; 18th Military Police Brigade; Grafenwöhr, Germany; US Army Europe"
