Description

The EQ2050 Mengshi is the 1.5 ton capacity, four wheel drive troop/cargo carrier developed and built by Dongfong Motor Corporation. The vehicle was based on the General Motors High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) with some minor modifications. According to Chinese media reports, the military version EQ2050 with 100% Chinese made parts passed the design finalization trial by the PLA in December of 2006.

The HobbyBoss kit of the Chinese Meng Shi truck consists of over 152 parts on 11 sprues plus the hull. Also included in the kit are 12 photo etch detail parts and 4 rubber tires. All of the parts are very well molded and very little flash is present. Detail is very nice.
