Trumpeter 01064 HEMTT M1120 Container Handling Unit (CHU) 1/35

Trumpeter 01064 HEMTT M1120 Container Handling Unit (CHU) in 1/35 scale is a perfectly reproduced plastic model kit representing one of the key logistical vehicles of the United States Army from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. This model is a faithful replica of the M1120 HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) with the CHU (Container Handling Unit) loading system, primarily used by the US Army and Marine Corps.

The HEMTT M1120 is a logistical vehicle manufactured by Oshkosh Defense, first introduced into service in 1999. Its primary task is the fast and efficient transport of containers and logistical loads, even in challenging front-line conditions and off paved roads. The HEMTT was widely used during military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, gaining recognition thanks to its reliability, versatility, and exceptional off-road maneuverability. The period of this vehicle's use covers the so-called modern era, from the 1990s to the present.

The Trumpeter 01064 model in 1/35 scale stands out for its high level of detail – the set includes a faithfully reproduced frame, realistically rendered winches, a container loading system, a complete set of off-road tires, and driver’s cabin elements. The kit contains all the necessary plastic sprues to assemble a precise miniature of this impressive vehicle. The model does not include add-ons such as a metal barrel or resin parts; however, the numerous details designed by Trumpeter will delight both beginner and advanced military model enthusiasts.

This product belongs to the category of plastic model kits. It requires self-assembly—the kit does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to fully personalize the vehicle according to their own preferences and skill level.
