Hello, I fallow your help

I am looking for this part of my M998 Gun Truck by Academy




I have found that up to now anywhere

This might be a part of the existing M998 Cargo/Troop Carrier Kit?



I hope you can help me


Here are a few pictures of my M998 as it looks at the moment

















I hope my English was unbearable

Hi Sebastian.
It's my M1069 HMMWV Prime Mover, built from this M998 Academy kit. But the basket above the cab was scratchbulited. You won't find it in any Humvee model kit in 1/35

Nice Gun Truck!

Welcome to Armorama Sebastian.
The part you're talking about is a camouflage net rack :

You probably wont find that rack fitted to a gun truck. Its usually fitted to the prime mover humvee when in the role of towing artillery. Ive seen a few gun trucks fitted with makeshift stowage shelves however.

Thanks for your help


I again checked the network and will probably now build here, the plastic sheet.






@ Rob


Do you have photos of these gun trucks you've seen?

The rack in these pics is made by Gipsy Rack. Another one :


You'll find a manufacturer brochure with drawings here :

So I have my M998 completely revised.


Role model, he was here.




I hope you like it.

He is not ready yet, the wheels will still turn and the equipment and detail painting.

So a little bit to do.
