Thanks for sharing.
The first few photos are great for an OOB Tamiya M1025.
May I ask what a TESEK Humvee is though? Never heard of it.
Thanks
Evan

AFAIK it's a Humvee in use by the Hungarian Army

OK, forget the above...that was putting 2 and 2 together and getting 22. Tesek + Humvee in Google gives Hungarian websites. Sorry for misleading anyone!
Went to the owner of teh photos and received this explanation:
TESEX is a shortening and combining of words ( Tactical Engagement Simulation Exercise) which became the common name for simualtion equipment from early 90's to at least 2007. before then a different type of simulation kit was used and I belive now we have another type but the pictures show SAAB equipment in use, based on lazer projectors and reflectors on the vehicles.
This picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/10639871@N03/2253605166/in/set-72157603880774459/ shows a Warrior with some of the TES kit fitted
The silver 'eyes' on the black boxes mounted usually at the turret corners are the reflectors that bounce the lazer back at the firer to record an accurate hit. They also have power full strobes that flash once for a near miss and costant when vehicle is hit. On Armoured vehicles it cuts the power to the engine. The Commander will usually let of a Smoke grenade too. The speaker is linked to the lazer for the chain gun (7.62mm Simulation) above the Rarden barrel a bracket is fitted holding the lazer emiter that simulates shots being fired.
As too the Hummer http://www.flickr.com/photos/10639871@N03/2253565794/in/set-72157603880652705/ In this picture you can see a reflector ( 2 are all that are mounted on wheeled B vehicles like Landrovers) a perforated bar has antenna to connect to GPS that informs the Directing Staff the constant location of the vehicles. There are no lazer projectors as it is unarmed but all the soldiers would have them on their rifles.
Hope this helps,
Sean
