Released last month, Trumpeter shares further details and photos of its kit contents.

Developed by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a mobile artillery rocket system that offers the firepower of the Multiple-Launch Rocket System (MLRS) on a wheeled chassis. Its purpose is to engage and defeat artillery, air defense concentrations, trucks, light armor and personnel carriers, as well as support troop and supply areas, with the capability to quickly move away from its launch area to avoid potential enemy retaliation.

Trumpeter’s M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) (01041) builds a model with full drive train assembly, complete with engine transmission, differential housing and suspension units. The kit has more than 500 parts in plastic and photo-etched details, a decal sheet, as well as rubber tires. The completed model stands at 225mm in length and 84.4mm in width.
