I have this model in Desert Tan color..yes it is worth every penny. I got mine late after they were all sold out in the states so I had to buy from Australia and it came mint in box with no damages. Has great detail and is a great replica to the real 1:1 scale version.

The M1070 tractor is alittle detailed under the hood and the side mirrors swing in/out. The back has alot of fine detail back towards the 5th wheel along with tiny detailed colored wire air lines, walkway grates, winches, etc.

The M1000 Trailer is very detailed as well, the gooseneck moves up and down and can be positioned like the real trailer. The wheels and suspension are detailed to the full size trailer but the hydraulic lifting/lowering is not functional with this model as it is in real life. The suspension is high but with alittle pressure you can lower the spring loaded suspension manually. The only problem I had was that the chain on the left side trailer swing ramp has came off due to being hung up on something awhile back but its a quick fix to repair/reattach it.
Overall the model is great, if you are deciding on getting one I would fully recommend it however it may be hard to find a Tan colored one as opposed to the OD Green camo scheme.
Check out the other reviews listed by Daemi above to get more of a thorough professional review. Hope this helps!

brc2222,

This is a great model with lots of details. Here is mine:









As the Sword Abrams tank, generally sold to go with that tank transporter, was at a 1:56 scale, I have loaded a 1:48 Wartanks static resin unit instead. Abrams tank and soldiers (all produced by Wartanks in the 90s) were found on e... at a reasonable price.

Regards.
Guy
