About product

M983A2 HEMTT Tractor with the M870A1 semi-trailer 1:35 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the M983A2 HEMTT heavy military tractor with the M870A1 lowboy transport semi-trailer in 1:35 scale from Trumpeter. One box therefore builds a complete transport rig. According to the box it holds photo-etched parts and hollow rubber tires; this is a large multi-part model for a display case or a diorama.

The real subject

The M983 HEMTT is an American heavy truck with 8x8 all-wheel drive from the HEMTT family, used for a range of duties from towing rocket systems to hauling equipment. In the tractor version it pulls the M870A1 lowboy transport semi-trailer, which is meant for moving armored and construction equipment. Behind the cab there is usually a winch for loading the cargo onto the trailer. HEMTT vehicles form the backbone of US Army logistics and of a number of allied forces as well.

Building and painting tips

Use thin cement for plastic and work in sub-assemblies; finish and paint the cab interior and the chassis before you close them up. Glue the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate. Lay down a primer before painting and spray with an airbrush. On military trucks a patina of washes and dust pigments pays off, especially on the chassis, the tires and the load bed of the trailer.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern American military vehicles in 1:35 scale
  • Enthusiasts of heavy trucks and transport logistics
  • Diorama builders who want a rig with equipment loaded on it
  • More experienced modelers who will appreciate a large multi-part project

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The box combines the M983A2 HEMTT heavy tractor and the M870A1 lowboy transport semi-trailer, so you build a complete transport rig. According to the box it also holds photo-etched parts and rubber tires.

The M870A1 is a lowboy transport semi-trailer meant for moving armored and construction equipment. In a diorama you can load a tank or another vehicle onto it.

Given the size and the number of parts we recommend it rather to more experienced modelers, though a careful advanced beginner will manage it.
