Hi, looking forward to the Helix and The Pershing launcher, would prefer a GLCM TEL & M1002 wrecker.
Yes, the US military didn’t buy it or any HEMTT A3 model…
In my eyes, a HEMTT A3 is a waste of resources. I think a M977/A4 or M978/A4 will make better sales.
Agreed, but apparently someone at Trumpeter likes it and thinks it will sell. Hopefully an A4 is in the pipeline.
I always wonder if there are enough references out on the net to make such a kit?
Hi Gino,
I doubt that the cbins are the same. They look similar but the A3 has bigger windows.
And if I read the announcement right, one will get only the truck and the semitrailer but not the Pershing missile itself.

Hmmm; so the missile will be a separate buy? That’s a bit off.
a bit late, but you’ll get the whole deal.

Thanks Ralf - very interesting! But do I add it to my stash? I still haven’t started let alone finished my Scuds, Frogs and the mighty Scrooge; do I just add this one to the attic - alongside the langusihing M65 cannon? The answer of course is “Yes!!”
Nope. The Pershing kit will have the M1001 truck and Pershing missile on the launcher trailer. It looks nice.

I’ve been waiting for this since the 70’s.
Edited to add: I’ve lost several many auctions for the Martin-Marietta 1/32 Pershing kit. I will never admit publicly what my ridiculously high bids were.
Me too; all we need is the SS-20 and GLCM - sort of cause and effect(!)

This is a PII; they only entered service in 1983.

Any Pershing system….
I’ve waited a long time for a Pershing and launcher. I’ve asked my local hobby shop to order one for me.
