Hi Andy,

Thank you very much, your work is very appreciated.

I suppose, these parts can also be used on the LVSR, which is on its way from ILK?

I have no idea, don’t have that kit on my Stash yet.

But if they designed it based on their previous HEMTT kits it should fit.

I was hoping to get a free kit for all my work from either Italeri or Trumpeter, but I’m not holding my breath on it.

And I doubt Trumpeter likes me after putting everything online for free. Lol

I removed the last link I posted and bundled everything CHU and ECHU related in 1 file:

It contains everything to make a M1075A1 or A4 in CHU or ECHU version, and the designs are updated. (something was off in my opinion, more happy with the results now.)


Perfectly balanced as all things in life should be. Lol

Don’t forget PERSONAL USE ONLY, if you want to do something else contact me first.

Going to have to look on ebay ect to find new HEMTT kits now.
It seems I’m 1 month short of a full year working on this project.
Time goes quickly, still going to design the M-978 fuel station soon.

Made some 120mm ammunition for my HEMTT trucks.
Going to make some for the M109 howitzer also.
Seems to be 155mm, still searching documentation on it.

What else of ammo do they transport on the HEMTT ?

Now those I would buy. I have been looking for that since the 1980s.

Buy?
I’ll put them here online for free.
What other ammo do HEMTT transport?

Can you help me out?

HEMTTs carry pretty much anything and everything. They are the heavy pickup truck of the US Army. You can make whatever cargo you want.

As far as M109 rounds, since the early 1990s, they are carried on M1074 PLSs, not HEMTTs. Since the mid 2000s, MLRS rocket pods have been carried on M1120 LHSs, prior to that they were also carried on M985A2 HEMTTs.

Okay, got me some XM113 and M795 rounds and 155MM Canister for the M109A6 Paladin.

What are these? Modern powder canisters? How are they called? Anyone?

Used for M109A6 Paladin?
Looks about the same as the ones I already designed:


Only the bottom is different.

Yes, they are used by the M109A6/A7 Paladin, M198 and M777 155mm howitzers.

Will these ammo pieces also be available at the company that prints your other stuff?

Prints what other stuff?
I have put everything online for free.

They could not print it due to the amount and size.
Read back, I have uploaded everything online for free.
