Interestingly, DEF Model already offered some upgrades for this kit.

Some should be seen in Ukraine eventually…
The Ukrainian-built Bars-6 MRAP was based on the KM450/K311A1 chassis

I hope they do a few other versions, but l really like the thought of an M715.

And another vote for an M715 5-quarter. I need to build my wife a model of her RATT rig in III Corps MERDC.

Yep, we need the M715 Kaiser 5/4 ton. I picked up the D-Toy K311A1 with the plan to convert to the 715. That stalled out after a bit of work, as it seems, to my eye, that although similar in general appearance, the Korean truck is smaller dimensionally that the 715. Possibly due to a smaller powerplant resulting in less sheetmetal for front fenders and hood?
Perhaps some brave soul with 3D skills can craft a conversion for the new plastic kit, giving both trucks a chance to be built?

Could it be that the resin kit is slightly undersized all over? It does happen sometimes …

Resin shrinkage may be the case as the K311 is listed as a modern, license-built version of the M715. The dimensions of the two are pretty much identical. The small differences are probably due to fenders and bumpers being different.
