After releasing the M-ATV in 1/16 scale, Trumpeter is now adding info and images of their next large scale modern offering.
Navistar's MaxxPro is a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) armoured fighting vehicle. Designed to endure improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and ambushes, MaxxPro can withstand ballistic arms fire and mine blasts. Navistar has delivered more than 9,000 MaxxPro vehicles.

The MaxxPro vehicle incorporates the design of a crew capsule with a V-shaped hull, which is mounted on the Navistar International model 7000 chassis. The purpose of the V-hull is to deflect the blast of either a land mine or an IED away from the vehicle. The incorporation of such a design has enabled MaxxPro to survive a 7kg (15lb) land mine blast without any injuries. The vehicle can use standardised and readily available parts to ensure rapid repair and maintenance. The armoured body of the vehicle is bolted together and not welded, which facilitates on-field repairs.

I have heard other things, that it is more like a toy but...from guys that have the kit... If you have 240 parts on a kit that is 1/16 scale and atleast more then 500 parts in other kits in 1/35 scale and alot more in there 1/16 tanks, ok take away the tracks it's still alot more parts then 240 parts.. So i think this kit will be more like a toy and none interior almost... Sorry but i think that and i'm not alone that belive that..
