Description:

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a U.S. M911 C-HET heavy truck fitted with a M747 semi-trailer.

The M911 C-HET (Commercial Heavy Equipment Transporter) is a powerful military truck designed to haul heavy loads, particularly armored vehicles and other oversized equipment. Manufactured by Oshkosh Corporation, the M911 is an 8×6 tractor unit that was introduced in the late 1970s as a replacement for older heavy haulers in the U.S. military. Powered by a Detroit Diesel 8V92TA V8 engine, producing around 450 horsepower, it provides the necessary strength to tow large loads over long distances. It features a robust Rockwell drivetrain, a three-axle configuration, and a spacious cab capable of carrying a driver and co-driver. Though eventually succeeded by the M1070 HET, the M911 remained in service for many years and was also exported to several allied nations.

The M747 Heavy Equipment Semi-Trailer is a 60-ton capacity trailer designed to be paired with heavy-duty trucks like the M911 C-HET. Featuring a 40-foot-long load deck, this trailer is purpose-built for transporting main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery, and other large military vehicles. It utilizes a gooseneck design for improved weight distribution and stability during transport. The M747 is equipped with eight axles and 16 wheels, ensuring that it can handle extreme loads while maintaining maneuverability on both highways and rugged terrain. Its rugged construction and high weight capacity made it a key asset for military logistics, ensuring that essential armored assets could be deployed efficiently across battlefields and training grounds.
