The latest kit from Sol Model provides detailing parts to build the armored engineer support vehicle.

The M728 CEV (Combat Engineer Vehicle) was based on a modified Patton tank chassis, with some based on the M60A2 variant that were withdrawn from service. It was equipped with a hydraulically operated bulldozer blade, a winch and retractable A-frame crane mounted on the turret for lifting, carrying and winching operations. A total of 312 M728 CEVs were produced over a seven year production period that started in 1965. It saw action in Vietnam and was even deployed during the Gulf War, eventually being withdrawn from US Army service by the year 2000.

Sol Model's kit MM204 is a conversion set that builds the M728 CEV using the Academy kit as base. Cast in resin, the kit includes other detailing parts such as wire, photo-etch to complete its offering.
