Termin Molds have been showing off their development of a new small scale M-ATV. As well as CAD images there are test shots in plastic.
Just as in real life the Oshkosh M-ATV is a successor to the M1114, so T-Model are working on a kit of the M1240 as a follow up to their string of M1114 kits. Their Facebook page has been displaying the mould design for the cab and hood, as well as what appears to be a complete test kit, and finished art work for the box top.

The version shown will feature an O-GPK turret. The tyres look to be in some other material, although apparently its not going to be resin. It's not quite clear at this time why the artwork features the label Galaxy Hobby.

Another nice looking little kit from Termin. Looks like they're using less PE and making much thinner plastic parts for the GPK. I'm currently working on their up-armored M1114 with GPK - lots of very tiny parts! Unlike Flyhawk, their sprue connection points are fairly large...sometimes larger than the small parts they're connected to. Glad to see the tires/wheels appear to be a single molding instead of the 9 or 10 parts as on the M1114 series. I would place Termin's overall quality to be better than Model Collect, MUCH better than either Revell or Trumpeter, and almost on a par with Flyhawk.

And as you pointed out with the railway wagon, Modelcollect are also trailing a kit of this vehicle, as is Riich. With the relationship between companies not always being that clear (e.g. Riich apparently doing work for others, e.g. Bronco) you start to wonder if these are all really three completely distinct kits... from the artwork, the Riich and the T-Model offerings look to be representing an identical configuration.

That's very interesting! My LHS stocks Riich models, but they've never heard of Model Collect.
