NEWS: 1/35 I ❤ Kit USMC LVSR MKR16 Tractor & MKR18 Cargo Truck

I :heart: Kit has announced another big truck kit. This time it is the USMC LVSR MKR 16 tractor. It is scheduled for release in Jan '24.

This is a very welcomed new kit and should be well detailed based on their earlier truck kits.

Actual vehicle.

So now I will still need the conversion kit to make this an Army version.

Yup, US Army doesn’t use this version. You will have to convert less though, getting closer. Maybe they have a PLS in the works as well. :crossed_fingers:

I would be happy with an M977A4, or any A4 for that matter, even though I already ordered the 3D printed A4 conversion kit.

They could branch out with the other versions of LVSR as well; MKR15 Wrecker and MKR18 Cargo (PLS equivalent).

MKR15

MKR18

The MKR18 wouldn’t be hard to convert using Italeri or Trumpeter M1120 parts for the multi-lift and flatrack parts.

Between the above and their M1120, Trumpeter has about 80% of a PLS already. Again, :crossed_fingers:

Found some built up pics of the I :heart: Kit LVSR MKR16 Tractor. It looks really nice and well detailed. Hopefully that means it will be available soon.

Found pics of the forthcoming I :heart: Kit LVSR MKR18 Cargo truck from a video of new kits at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. It looks equally as nice.



Now we just need a kit of the MKR15 Wrecker, and all the Trumpeter HEMTT A4s they have announced.

Wow!

And just when I promised myself I wouldn’t buy any more kits.

The armoured version of the LVSR cab with the MCTAGS “turret” would be nice too.
