Does anyone have pictures or know much about the newer cab or CPK on HEMTTS/PLS in Afghanistan. From what i've found it looks like a new cab with some sort of ECM or air-conditioner on top but I am unsure.

It's a CPK. Here's a link for the Technical Bulletin.

Hi Joey,
latest A4 HEMTT truck use the cab of the M1075 PLS truck, the signature of the cab is more "streamlined". Unfortunalyn No HEMTT A4 or PLS cab in sight in 1/35 scale.

Thankyou that clears up a lot, now to figure out if the boxes on top are ECM, Aircons or part of the DUKE set-up.

I do recall one of the boxes on the roof was the DUKE because it snapped off the roof mounts and rolled down a hill at my vehicle by luck it rolled off the side of the track and upon investigation it was the ECM mind you the crew had no idea they had lost it.

Real Model does a CPK set for the HEMTT in PE. It is pretty nice and looks really good.
