## Description

Product Description In 1993 the U.S. Army started fielding the M1070 Truck Tractor and the M1000 Heavy Equipment Transporter Semi-trailer. The tractor is produced by Oshkosh Truck, and the trailer is manufactured by Systems & Electronics, Inc. in St. Louis. The HETS transports payloads up to 70 tons - primarily Abrams tanks, but is also used for other large military equipment such as forklifts and various tracked vehicles. It is capable of operating on highways (with permits), secondary roads, and cross-country. This version of HETS has a number of features that significantly improve the mobility and overall performance of the system in a tactical environment. The M1070 tractor has front- and rear-axle steering, a central tire-inflation system, and cab space for six personnel to accommodate the two HETS operators and four tank crewmen. The M1000 semi-trailer has automatically steerable axles and a load-levelling hydraulic suspension. It is air-transportable by both C-5 Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. From the Manufacturer Modern Oshkosh M1070 truck tractor paired with Systems & Electronics M1000 Heavy Equipment Transport semitrailer - a military logistics vehicle system intended to transport, deploy, and evacuate tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, and other heavy vehicles. M1070 features highly detailed chassis with intricate driveline, posable 1st and 4th axle wheels, full cab interior, pivoting 5th wheel coupling and excellent winch with control panel. M1000 sports detailed frame, multi-part subsystems, extensive hydraulic plumbing, pivoting loading ramps, movable platform, adjustable support legs and functional sprung suspension.

Review: Great build - This is one of the finest kits of its kind on the market. The parts count is very high and you must study the instruction manual carefully. this is really two kits. The M1070 tractor and the M1000 trailer. This kit is not for beginners. construction and painting must be carefully planned. The parts themselves, are accurate and free of flash and sink marks. There are 36 plastic sprues, 11 photo etched metal sprues, 51 vinyl tires,metal tacks, brackets, chain, springs,wire and vinyl tubing. Parts count probably exceeds 1800, so be prepared for a extended build time. All in all, this was a wonderful build, especially for those of us who prefer the actual build to the painting and weathering. I do enjoy the painting and weathering, but I try to keep it to a minimum. Get this kit and have some fun.

An amazing model. Extreme detail and parts fit great. This model is for a seasoned modeller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely time consuming and intricate!
*by R***3 on October 29, 2021*

When I first open the box I was taken aback by just how many parts were included with this model. I also was a little awestruck and dumbfounded by the photo etched metal parts that were included. When it came time to assemble metal to plastic, I had to use superglue and its adhesive power was quite unpredictable. Especially trying to glue the extremely small parts had me cussing more than I normally would and some parts I left off because I could never get them to either fit properly or stay cemented even using superglue!
