Hello
This humvee M1114 FRAG 5 with Raven Optical R400 RWS interests me for modelling.

There are no captions with photos, is it possible to know which unit use it ?

Alex, these are some great photos. I will have to save some of these for future reference. I really like the M1117 photos. Another interesting thing here is the very long arms used on some of the Rhinos mounted to the HMMWVs. I wish I had some info on the R400 RWS. Maybe it was used before the CROWS II was standardized. Most photos I've seen of HMMWVs equipped with a RWS are of the M1151. Sorry I couldn't help. Maybe by bringing the post forward someone with the right knowledge will see it.

regards,

Eric

Thank you for your answer. I agree photos are interesting and they give good ideas to update some models.
