US M1078 CARGO LIGHT MEDIUM TACTICAL VEHICLE

Description

In 1991 started the manufacture of a US Army’s new Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) with the intention that eventually all the existing (and ageing) medium trucks in the Army’s inventory would be replaced by a modern and efficient design. The FMTV is based on an Austrian truck, the Steyr 12 M 18, but considerably reengineered to be available as the 4 x 4 7.5 tone Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) with a load of 2.5 tons. (Scale : 1/35e)
