Trumpeter 01004 M1078 Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) Standard Cargo Truck 1/35

The Trumpeter 01004 M1078 Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) Standard Cargo Truck in 1/35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit intended for advanced military modelers. The M1078 LMTV is a versatile military vehicle produced for the United States Army, and is part of the broader FMV (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles) lineup of light and medium trucks. This design was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with production starting in 1996, gradually replacing the aging M35 vehicle series.

The M1078 was widely used by the U.S. Army and NATO allies, primarily as a logistical vehicle for transporting supplies and soldiers, as well as a platform for specialized configurations. The Standard Cargo Truck variant recreated in this Trumpeter kit could be seen during the intervention in Iraq (2003-2011), stabilization missions in Afghanistan, and peacekeeping operations worldwide from 1996 onwards, making it a vehicle of the contemporary era.

The 1/35 scale model accurately represents the construction of the original; details are rendered with great precision—including the external components, interior of the cabin, suspension, and cargo platform. The high-quality plastic ensures ease of handling and assembly, with parts fitting together very precisely to guarantee a solid finished miniature. The kit includes a clear assembly guide and decals for authentic US Army camouflage and markings.
