Well, you need 1/35th scale figures to go with a 1/35th scale kit. So-called 54 mm figures are larger, and correspond to 1/32nd or 1/30th, according to the sculptor's preference. A 5' 10" man is 50.4 mm tall (two inches) in 1/35th scale. Dragon has produced a wide variety of 1/35th scale US figures in styrene.
Italeri's "Desert Patrol" Hummer is a version that AM General offered to the Army in the late 1980's, but it was never produced. You could build it up as company demonstrator, I suppose. Not sure what parts are in the box, but you might be able to leave the top off and just build it as a pick-up version, which was used in large numbers. The more recent kits from Academy and Tamiya are more accurate.
