Overview of the Trumpeter 01010 1/35 M1082 LMTVT Trailer

The M1082 LMTV Trailer is a key support vehicle in modern military logistics, normally towed by the Light Medium Tactical Vehicle family. This 1/35 scale rendition from Trumpeter captures the trailer's utilitarian design and load capability. The real trailer has a gross payload rating of 5000 pounds and comes fitted with an air brake system plus a parking brake to secure loads when detached.

Kit Composition and Assembly Notes

This Trumpeter set contains over 180 parts and includes a single photo-etched fret to boost fine detail. Hollow rubber tyres reproduce the factory tread profile for display authenticity, while the finely modelled wheel hubs mirror the real equipment. The package also contains a canvas and bows assembly so you can represent cargo protection on the build.

Real-World Role and Display Potential

In service the M1082 is commonly seen in resupply and convoy roles, making it a natural choice for diorama work. Model builders will find the scale accuracy and parts count useful for museum-style displays or operational scenes that require a believable logistics trailer.
