MAN Trucks - HX60/58/77

[will2017]

Does anyone know of any kits of the MAN trucks we have? Looking to make at least one of each type.

Revell do a German army version in 1/72 scale of the cargo truck not sure if it differ's from our version

Totally different. The UK vehicles have the Marshalls loadbed on all versions - some even have the HIAB crane. I guess each country got a bespoke design, based on a common chassis

Suspension and chassis are also different, as is the cab: so pretty much the entire kit! 

 

UK has mostly High Mobility HX, with about 10% "extreme mobility" SX 6x6 (mostly tankers) and 8x8 (mostly recovery): AFAIK we don't have any SX 4x4..  The Revell kit is only potentially appropriate for the SX, but not necessarily fully appropriate as the SX has developed from the previous Kat1 configuration kitted by Revell. The HX spec uses a lot of parts from the commercially-based Medium Mobility TGA trucks.

 

UK top hampers are all unique, although a very similar recovery setup has been fitted to other chassis brands.

 

Technically these are no longer MAN trucks: the military vehicle arm of MAN Truck and Bus AG has recently joined in a joint venture with Rheinmetall to form a new company, Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV).

 

One assumes that Accurate Armour have these on their "to do" list.  I'd also like to think that one of the plastic manufacturers would be interested as the HX and SX trucks are used by several countries around the world, although the TG series are far more common with more than 80,000 sold.
