There are no AM ODS HMMWV decal sets that I know of. They are easy to piece together or make yourself with a word-processing program and computer decal paper. What unit or markings are you looking for? We can probably tell you how they should look so you can make them.

I will check some of my kits when i get home. I thought the Academy might have some... I know the Tamiya M1025 has a set from 1991 for the 16th Military Police Brigade, 210th Military Police Company

More to follow....

Frank,

If you want the 1991 markings from the Tamiya kit mentioned previously, send me your address and I will get them out to you. I have 6 M1025's and will happily spare a set of the 1991 markings for you.

LoL @ Jeremy......

I have about 6 Tamiya M1025's and 3 or 4 M1046's. I have plans to build multiple variants obviously. I also have some various conversion kits. Not looking to get rid of them. I've been sharing some parts that I know I won't use though.

I am narrowing my interest to HMMWV's, M1 series tanks and Strykers. I will build a few other odds and ends but those will be my primary focus. I have a lot of kits I need to sell off or trade in the process.

Frank,
If you plan on making your own decals. here's some advice: unless you have experience with photoshop, paint.net, or other graphic program, stick to the tried and true: MS Word. The text is razor sharp and the fonts for whatever you need are out there (usually for free) on the web. The chevrons can be made with < > keys and just enlarged. If you need any help, feel free to drop me a line. If you want to be done with it, and get it made elsewhere, I'll be happy to make up enough markings (you'll have to supply the refs) to fill a 5.5 x 8.5 in sheet for US$20 plus shipping.
Regards,
Georg Eyerman

PS- please be advised that I'll be leaving on vacation to Brasil on the 23rd of December and returning home on the 10th of January.
