Thanks Altay

Your M1038 is great - I love such "clean" shape of this version: 4-door soft-top. Congrats too

What is the best kit for making a m998? Tamiya + mig conversion?

I had the italeri humvee with the Verlinden, not too happy with it, will build it again in the future.

Yes, the best solution is Tamiya + MIG. But in my opinion soft doors and roof from Italeri's kits (M998 Command or M1097A2) are not bad too. They are quite good I'd say.

Another one - M1109 UAH:

Some parts are attached without glue only to make these photos, so there are some holes. I hope they'll disappear after final assembly.

And with trailer M101A3:

Trailer itself:

What reference are you using for the M1109? I'm just asking because pictures of them are relatively scarce.

Very nice scratch! However, I would love to see M1116 and m1165(with new front and side windows) come out from you in the future...

I've got about 20 photos of M1109s, including a couple of interior shots. Some of them are very big and good, but still there are many parts of this version, where I had to guess, how they should look like...
PM me Your mail address, I'll send those photos to You. For registered on Polish Humvee forum: http://www.humvee-models.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=131.

Thanks, Jay.
I've got M1116 in my wide plans, but I still hope, that one of aftermarket producers will make a conversion set for Bronco's M1114s.
As far as the M1165 goes - take a look at the 8th page of this thread - I've got one M1165 (in Romanian service), not planning any more. I don't like the shape of this version at all

I read it but the side armored windows on the real m1165 are deferent.

Jay, maybe You're thinking about LTAS-B Kit doors... For the newest versions of Humvee (M1151, M1152, M1165, M1167) there are two variants of side doors armor, with little differences:

1. Frag 5 Kit:

I'll add, that I've seen photos of M1165 with both types of this armor and I don't know, if there are any rules of using them. Also I've seen photos of M1165 with old-type 'x' doors (known from M1025) and even with soft doors. So there are many possibilities of making a M1165 model

Just to note, the standard doors on the base model M1165 and the M1165A1 HMMWVs are the older "armored" doors used on the M1025 and M1026 armament carriers. The IAP that is standard on the M1165A1 does not include doors. M1165s can of course be fitted with Frag 5 kit doors, LTAS B-Kit doors, and a variant of the standard UAH doors referred to in the technical manual as "perimeter" doors.
