The M985 HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) is a rugged eight-wheel vehicle valued for its mobility across difficult terrain. First fielded in the mid-1980s, it quickly became a logistics staple for the United States Army. This Italeri 6510 1/35 kit captures the truck's profile and service intent for modellers.
The HEMTT range was built to haul ammunition and supplies where standard trucks could not go, emphasising payload and mobility. The kit mirrors these features through accurate proportions and external fittings.
Builders will find well-defined parts that benefit from careful cleanup and test assembly. Glue is required and careful painting will highlight the kit's detail. Once complete, the M985 HEMTT Gun Truck makes a solid subject for a battle-worn diorama or a detailed shelf model.
