I've been reading through the posts on the Hummers and did'nt see this new item from Italeri written there.
I received this news in my email earlier today from MilitaryHobbies.com. I don't know if it's new or what, but just wanted to give a "heads-up" in case it is.

looks awsome. I am having a total blast building my TOW hummer right now so I see myself building another one in the near future and that one seems to be calling out to me. Thanks for the heads up. By the way, the figure on the link is in Canadian dollars, U.S. is the ever popular $19.95

There was some worries that this was a rebox of the old Esci kit since they reboxed Esci's M60 Blazer, but it isn't. Someone on Missing Links had both and confirmed that it is the Italeri Hummer with a new mold Avenger sprue.

Hummer kit, good.
17 unbuilt kits in my room, bad.
Airbrush coming within a week, good.
Small amount of free time, bad
Plenty of time to build kits in summer, good
Need to work tonight, bad
Model might not be avilible for very long, good - get kit now!
(see the reasoning I use while trying to decide what to buy?)

GreyHunter, do you specialize in Hummer kits? (in other words, would that be your favorite thing to model?) Which one would you say is the best?.... That is, if you've built any of them.

Fun to say, 'Hummer' is

Sounds like good reasoning to me, especially if it leads to getting a new kit!

Thankfully, they reboxed a good kit...can't wait for the A3.
