Bad News Guys! This set will now ONLY include the TWO different trailers! The Patriot system AND the Radar trailer NOT the M983 HEMTT Tractor! That's going to be sold as a separate model! See Trumpeter's website, The boxtop Artwork has now been changed and does not feature the M983 Tractor on the trailer box! 🙁

Nice kits (just turned up) but would have been better if they were both sold separately! Now you have two trailers and no M983 Tractor! Oh but wait now they expect you to buy two of those as well.... 🙁

Correct Michael, But as we said a while ago, The Dragon kit will most likely not be as detailed nor will it likely fit together as well! I think this will be sitting in my "bucket list pile" for a long time... plenty of other items i want to build before i get around to this. But i just had to have one, love these big monster trucks.

I bet you'll build yours Michael before i get around to building mine! I just ordered another M983 Tractor so i'll have one for both trailers! I'd like to paint the whole thing up in desert sand colors, But i've only ever seen the M983 painted this way never the Patriot missile system? (Can anyone find a photo of it in desert sand scheme?) I'm hoping Trumpeter will do the 10 wheeler version Oshkosh transporter as well! 🙂

Great! I found a few pics of it in desert camo! check these out. It's odd Trumpeter don't show it in this scheme. But they never seem to research the finish well and only give basic decals in most kits.

Thanks Anna, Seems some trucks and the trailers are still in the green camo and some show a combo of both schemes. The missile boxes can be either, Often they carry odd color combos depends whats been loaded! 🙂

Yea, It's quite a setup! Generator Truck (should be pretty easy to scratch up some generators) There's also a comms? truck and the other radar/microwave link? unit. I'm glad there in desert sand scheme now, be a lot easier to blast out that scheme with the "air blower" 🙂
