Good luck to him. Be warned though, these kits are fictional and don't really represent a Patriot Missile System at all. Below is an actual Patriot Missile System used during ODS. All the M900 series 5 ton trucks are now replaced by FMTV series 5 ton trucks.

Launch Trailer and M983 Prime Mover



Radar Trailer


Antenna Mast Unit


C2 (Command and Control) Unit



Germany also mounted them on 10 ton Man trucks.

Which is why they'll appeal to certain collectors out there.
