Hobby Boss published a teaser photo of their upcoming release... can you guess what it is?
The photo was posted on Trumpeter & Hobby Boss Facebook page and shows a cabin part of the 1/35 scale kit which is in their pipeline. The question is... what vehicle is that?

Thanks to Hisham for the heads up.

Some few years back MAN made a deal with the Russian 8x8 manufacturer to provide cabs for their military vehicles. The Chineese may have made a similar deal with MAN regarding the vehicles they are building in China under license. OR they may simply be building a similar version of the cab for themselves. (I suspect they are building their own, very similar cabs.)

I for one will be very happy to see new tool MAN 5T, 7T & 10T trucks, especially the 7T. Thank you Hobby Boss (now how about that M5 HST)

I think that it's the missing roof from my neighbors recycling truck...

Are these same types used by the British army?

LINK "The first order for the HX range came from the British Army which announced in October 2004 that it had selected the MAN ERF UKUK Ltd proposal to meet the Support Vehicle requirement. The contract was awarded in March 2005.[1]" plus "The HX/HX2 ranges of trucks combine militarised commercial driveline and chassis with the latest version of a modular military-specific cab" So, based on the two pieces of text above I would guess that there are some irritating external differences that M.A.N experts will detect immediately but amateurs will fail to see (I count myself in the second group, obviously ...). / Robin Edit: Frenchy to the rescue, see next post: Those differences are major, even I can spot those, even without my reading glasses ....

Hi; O.k.--IF WERE SPEAKING ABOUT Truck's -- HOW ABOUT, Tatra ! There are A Whole series of them that I would like to see in plastic; there are some in resin, which are quite expensive. The Tatra is also produced by India as the BEMEL. CHEERS; MIKE.

Is it released ? Wonder if it is more detailled than Revell kit.

Thanks for posting this pic, I was thinking about doing a MAN in British colours but now I see they`re not the same. I will stick to the German version now.
