Up_Armored Army M1088A1 Starting Platform
Posted by grounded on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 1:38 PM
I am interested in building a model of a M1088A1 Up-Armored Medium Truck being used in Iraq. I have not found anyone making this vehicle, so I am going to scratch build one. What is anyone using for a starting platform of the basic vehicle? This is a 5 ton 6X6 On and Off road vehicle.

Trumpeter has announced one.  They already have the M1078 2 1/2 ton LMTV out.  The M1083 5 ton FMTV is next.  If you just can't wait, you could get 2 of the LMTVs, bash them together and lengthen the rear frame and bed, and add the second rear axle.  They have announced both styles of armored cabs as well for each vehicle type.
