Italeri 1/35 M978 Fuel Servicing Truck Kit

The Italeri 1/35 kit models the M978 HEMTT fuel servicing truck, a staple in modern army logistics known for its heavy duty performance and ability to operate in remote locations. This scale subject is ideal for modellers interested in contemporary military support vehicles and refuelling operations.

Modelling details and context

Builders will find a satisfying blend of parts and detail. The M978 tanker offers a clear look into the practical design choices that enable fuel transport under field conditions, making the kit informative as well as enjoyable to assemble.

Presentation and collector value

Finished examples fit neatly into museum style displays or operational dioramas. The inclusion of new rims and rubber tyres enhances wheel realism and helps the model sit correctly when displayed alongside other 1/35 military kits.

Yes, out of the box it builds into a credible display model. Enthusiasts can add aftermarket parts if they want finer detail for close up presentation.
This release includes rubber tyres along with new rims, improving the tyre profile and realism compared with fully plastic wheels.
Use careful priming, followed by thin coats of hobby paint. For realism try panel shading, washes and subtle weathering to represent operational use.
