Trumpeter has just shown some photos of the M270 MLRS kit. That can only mean it is close to release!
Not all news from Trumpeter are for Soviet vehicles, and this is a good example. The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (M270 MLRS) is an armoured, self-propelled, multiple rocket launcher; that was first delivered to the U.S. Army in 1983. Since then, it has been exported to several countries and most of them keep it in service.

From the photos, it seems that the kit will come with metal parts, and can be shown either in transport or firing mode.

Thankfully there's a 'hide user' button! Keeps the blood pressure down. Jim

Great news! If I remember correctly some time ago Trumpeter annouced in their catalog both MLRS and also the MARS version, hope they got the 2 of them to the market now. Would be good to know what kind of tracks they include, I really hated the originals in Dragon kits. Cheers

I wonder what kind of markings there are in the kit. Why not for a french LRU in operation Barkhane ?

ATACMS are vis-mod pods that are disguised to look like all other munitions models, guided and non-guided: M26, M28, M30, etc. In my best J.R. R. Tolkien, "One MFOM (MLRS Family of Munition) pod appearance to rule them all!"

I would too. The Takom Leopard 1 came out a good 30 years after the Italeri one and is at best a marginal improvement, and in some areas, a step backwards.
