1/35 Scale Italeri M978 Fuel Servicing Truck Kit

This Italeri kit recreates the HEMTT M978 fuel servicing truck in 1/35 scale, capturing the vehicle that has supported US Army logistics since the 1980s. The model highlights the HEMTT family reputation for heavy load capacity and off road resilience, showing why the M978 tanker has been relied on to move fuel to forward and remote sites.

Build notes and service background

The assembly offers a rewarding project for hobbyists who enjoy military road and field vehicles. The M978 kit balances detail with a moderate level of construction, allowing builders to learn about the tanker variant's role in refuelling operations while working on realistic components and fittings.

Finished model appeal for display

When completed, this model makes a convincing centrepiece for a military collection or diorama. The realistic touches, including new rims and rubber tyres, help achieve an authentic look on display shelves or in scale scenes, and collectors will value the aftermarket style details provided by Italeri.
