Italeri 6510 - 1/35 M985 HEMTT Gun Truck: Kit Introduction

The M985 HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) is a rugged eight-wheel drive vehicle recognised for its ability to handle tough terrain. First fielded in the mid-1980s, it became integral to United States Army transport and resupply roles. The Italeri 6510 1/35 kit recreates the HEMTT with faithful external detail.

Operational Use and Capability

Designed to move ammunition and heavy equipment where ordinary trucks could not, the HEMTT emphasises mobility and durability. The model conveys these attributes through accurate dimensions and functional-looking fittings.

Construction Notes and Display Ideas

Parts are well defined and benefit from careful trimming and test assembling. Glue and paint are required to complete the model; finishing touches such as washes and chipping will add character. The M985 HEMTT Gun Truck works well as a stand-alone model or as part of a larger military scene.
