TKM5021 - Takom 1/72 M1070 and M1000 Tank Transporter (Discontinued) 

The Takom 5021 1/72 M1070 & M1000 Tank Transporter (Discontinued) is a highly detailed plastic model kit of the modern U.S. Army Heavy Equipment Transport System (HETS), combining the Oshkosh M1070 heavy-duty tractor with the M1000 semi-trailer designed for transporting main battle tanks such as the M1 Abrams. This impressive scale model captures the massive logistical backbone of modern armored forces, featuring accurate chassis engineering, realistic cab detail, and a highly detailed multi-axle trailer system. Some boxings also include additional load options such as a D9R armored bulldozer, enhancing diorama potential.

Known for its complexity and fine molding, this Takom release is considered one of the most detailed 1/72 heavy transport kits available, featuring photo-etched parts, clear components, soft tires, and highly accurate surface textures. Although now discontinued, it remains a sought-after kit among modern military model collectors and diorama builders.
