Hello
First I wan't thanks for everyone by help with my previous post about m1117. You are REALLY FANTASTIC !!!
Second I've changed my mind and I wan't build M1117 like this on a picture below. I think this is MP Units (???) vehicle so I would like to add one soldier. Unfortunatelly I don't know how old is this picture ( 2004 or later ).
I ask becouse if I good remember in 2005 US army changed type of uniforms (???) but I don't know a month. My next question is about this "platform" for antennas on a right sideof vehicle. Have somebody more detailed picture ?
Thanks, Chris

That is the BFT in the second pic. My NWM kit came with one. It can be sourced through various AM kits out there. I believe I have 4 or 5 of them from various kits in varying sizes.

Looking at your pic I'd say its somewhere around 2007 onwards, I'm using "rule of thumb" of course but the Humvee and the Antennas back up my claim ..anyone else have any ideas??

Roy,
I would concur with your estimation of the date. The long range antennas on thw HMMWV nor the anti-sniper nets were not in use, or widespread use in the beginning of 2006, So 2007 and beyound is probably safe...
