Hi Evan.

I used as a reference these two drawings from Humvee manual:

and also several photos. The dimensions I took from them. Materials - plastic rods from Evergreen, metal net from Aber and some minor schratchbuilded parts.

And by Angola too.
This vehicle from Philippines is a modification of Humvee, it's longer than an original. I'm not interested But Joe - if You have any pictures of such version used by Honduras, could You post them here?


Only six months late hehe.



Better late than never I guess. Unfortuantely its the only one I've got. Its one of two pictures from the Julio Montes book I mentioned, and the other is much lower res and black and white. I recommend picking this book up to anyone interested in obscure Latin American armor.

Humvee number 20 finished It's a M1114 UAH used in Afghanistan by mercenaries, probably cooperating with Portuguese ISAF forces. Model - Tamiya's M1025, conversion set - MIG Productions' M1114 conv., wheels - Blast Models.

I didn't really want to start a new thread for this and figured this one has become a good place to put information about what-if and exotic HMMWV configurations. I just found another interesting one going through back issues of Armor Magazine. Check out the 1990 November-December Issue here and go to page 37.

My 22nd Humvee is coming. That's how it looks today:




It's an Academy's M998 IED Gun Truck kit with some addictions - Blast Models wheels, MIG Productions seats, Pro Art Models SINCGARS radio. I decided to replace gun mount with a lot of transported stuff. I hope to build something like this (accesrories in place of soldiers):

Had a spare M1117 turret and a pretty old badly built Italeri Commando Hummer and decided to put the two together for a quick and fun build. As it was a totally off-the-wall build I decided to give it an almost sci-fi type paint scheme... hope you like it:

Reminds me of the camo on the Micro Machines "Terror Troops" vehicles from the 1990s.

so i am new to modeling i only have about 8 builds under my belt, but am now obsesed with humvees just by reading this post! i was curious where you guys go to find all these different variations of humvees, obviously you guys change some of them yourselves. But i am struggling where to find humvees. The only one i can find is the tow missle version. Also what scale are your humvees in? i would really like to find 1/35 scale
Thanks for any help i would appreciate a push in the right direction!

You can find multiple versions of HMMWV models in 1/72, 1/48th and 1/35th scale.

There are multiple on-line retailers that sell HMMWV kits.

Here are a few sites with consolidated information on HMMWV's.
