For modern builders, one of the most welcome recent releases has been the M1078 from Trumpeter. Now, from ProArt, comes news of a major update set.
Details, are, at the moment, sketchy however, Sebastien Viale, has been good enough to send us images of this pretty significant new release.

As can be seen from the images, ProArt's new set will include a FULL replacement cab, new wheels and additional details for the sub-frame.

Release is scheduled for September and price is TBA.

Our thanks to Sebastien for the update!

Seb: I think his price is rather reasonable, it would of been an even better price for us Brits had the pound not weakened so much. I was actually more commenting on the price of Trumpeter's kit, at least here in the UK, which is very high considering the kit is quite basic.

But Rob, also I do believe that the weakest point of the Trumpy kit is the cabin, I did discuss with Dirk on that because people will looking for the cabin kit only. He said that He will take your comments into account and let see what future bring. Cheers Seb

Yes I agree Seb the cabin looks very poor, no doubt about it I will certainly purchase this kit when I build the LMTV. Did you ever hear any more on the rumored Stryker interior?
