Trumpeter 00931 US MaxxPro MRAP 1/16 – Plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 00931 US MaxxPro MRAP 1:16 scale model is an extremely detailed and impressive replica of the modern MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) armored vehicle. This vehicle, designed by the American company Navistar Defense, has been widely used by the United States Armed Forces since 2007 during conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The MaxxPro was developed specifically in response to the threat of rapidly evolving IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) and anti-personnel mines, which are characteristic of 21st-century asymmetric warfare.

The distinguishing feature of the MaxxPro is its highly advanced V-shaped hull, which effectively disperses blast energy and protects the crew from battlefield threats. The Trumpeter model comes with faithfully reproduced details – including a fully rendered crew compartment interior, multi-part hull, bolted (not welded) armor, as well as numerous movable and functional components for a realistic presentation of the vehicle. The model consists of over 240 plastic parts and extras: metal parts (e.g., pins, axles, hinges, screws), photo-etched elements, and realistic rubber tires.
