Looks good. First I have heard of it as well.
“US Special Forces M1245A1 Mine-Resistant All-Terrain Vehicle
Upgraded variant of the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) designed for U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). Built by Oshkosh Defense, this highly durable, 4x4 tactical vehicle offers protection against mines and IEDs while being agile enough for rugged terrain. The M1245A1 features advanced armor, off-road capability with modifications to support special operations missions, including enhanced mobility and payload capacity.”

I hopes it will nearly as good as the Rye Field M ATAV , i was waiting it since it was announced . Normaly a less expensive option than the 3D conversion found on the web.

I’m not sire, but I may have sent him my references on the SOCOM variant from 10th Group. Either way it’s been on M-ATV reference for about fourteen years now.

I’m happy I had the opportunity to be part of your model with my conversion parts.

This is the model I built, same camo scheme but very far from @Makinen quality.
There is a KitMaker forum thread about it here: Socom M-ATV and some more at my website here: M1245 Special Forces M-ATV with 3D printed parts by Priamide

They don’t use Trumpeter’s molds. I 
Kit is a subsidiary of Trumpeter, they are the same overall company. For whatever reason, some kits are released under Trumpeter’s name/label and other are released under the I Kit name/label.
They do put out some really nice kits. I especially like their modern truck kits.

So are these trucks still in service or have they been replaced by the JLTV’s?

There is something called the “USSOCOM Fact Book” that is published each and every year and is Unclassified and free to the public for download from the USSOCOM website. For 2025, on page 37, it states that the USSOCOM M-ATV M1245 is still in service and there is no JLTV equivalent. You can see that the USSOCOM Armored Ground Mobility System (AGMS Pandur 1) is no longer in service.

(Honestly, the SOCOM Fact Book changes very little each and every year because USSOCOM generally uses the same equipment, rotorcraft, aircraft, and vehicles each and every year).
