Weekend project, so model in the picnic mood. Tamiya with using CMK elements.








I am thinking about the small scene with these two guys

BEAUTIFUL! I am partial to TOW systems since that is what I worked on, along with the Bradley TOW system, the most while I was in the Army.

The only thing I would change basing on the type of M249 SAW and radio mounted, is the MRE boxes. Those are the wrong type of MRE boxes for the era of the vehicle. Also, if your going to paint the figures in the 6 color DCU ("chocolate chip"), I would repaint the helmet and clothes on the hummer the same way.

Neat project. Is the vehicle based on actual photos? If not, no big deal. Would love to see the photos due to my historical research/interest if you have some.

Let me help:




Source (sorry, but I don't remeber if it's of all of them): Concord Publications (2001), Michael Green, "US Army Light Forces Panama to the Middle East". Photos taken during exercises in NTC, Fort Irwin.

Another similar model found in the web, which was inspired by photos above:

BTW, Brent, these photos are at Humvee forum:

What a great modification. I will have to track down the book for my library.

Thanks Kuba! Good to see you here!
