Details on the Trumpeter 01010 1/35 M1082 LMTVT Trailer Model

The M1082 LMTV Trailer plays a central role in tactical logistics when paired with Light Medium Tactical Vehicles. This 1/35 scale kit from Trumpeter reflects the trailer's practical layout and load-bearing design. The operational vehicle carries a gross payload of 5000 pounds and uses an air brake arrangement along with a parking brake to stabilise it when unhitched.

Parts Breakdown and Build Advice

The Trumpeter kit is supplied with over 180 parts, including a single photo-etched component for finer elements. Hollow rubber tyres replicate realistic tread patterns and improve the model's presentation. The wheel hubs are detailed, and the package includes canvas and bows for covered cargo options.

Suitability for Displays and Scenes

Commonly found in logistical convoys, the M1082 is suited to realistic dioramas and transport-focused displays. The high part count and accurate dimensions allow modellers to achieve convincing results right out of the box.

Intermediate modelling skills are recommended due to small photo-etched parts and tyre fitting; familiarity with basic glue and paint techniques helps achieve the best finish.
Standard modelling tools such as cutters, files, glue and fine brushes are sufficient. Tweezers and a hobby knife are useful for handling small parts and the photo-etch pieces.
Apply washes, dry brushing and subtle chipping with reference colours to simulate wear. Dust and mud pigments work well on tyres and lower panels to match operational conditions.
