Mk.23 MTVR Cargo Truck

Mk.23 MTVR Cargo Truck (Osh)

by: Jim Starkweather [ STAFF_JIM ]

SUMMARY
Highs: Quality molded parts with a lot of minute detail. Has full branded Osh hood brand as well as Michelin tires! Lows: Anyone wanting to do a covered cargo version is going to be unhappy there are no included parts for that. Verdict: Yet another high production quality kit from Trumpeter. For those doing modern armor it will fill a particular niche, at a cost.

I wish the interior placards were a bit sharper, since the artwork I sent them was very crisp. At least they're there... More good news - an engine is coming soon.

To be fair I put the suggested list price ($85) vs. actual online pricing ($67 via Sprue Bros for example). But yeah still up there. Jim

Thanks for the review Jim. The photo previews you have added lately are most interesting. My MTVR kit is on order. I would still watch your videos just for the music. It kicks!

Thanks for the preview.. love the music you're adding to them! This looks like a pretty nice, but very complex, kit. I wonder how much it'll go for in HK? Hopefully under $50! Hisham
