Hello
Today I found new product in Blat-models - BL35153K PROTECTOR CROWS 2 FOR M1151/1114 AND MRAP. Can I please about any pictures of US vehicles in Iraq with this RWS ?
Thank You for help

Very nice, but it is missing the control unit taht operates the CROWS and it is very noticable, especially in a Hummer.

Man, I was just thinking the other day how the CROWS is an important piece of the HMMWV community that was missing...Definitely a must have. I will have to look at ordering a couple of these and the SPARK systems after I get back to the US.

This is great! Anyone know if this is the ones used by the Dutch and Aussies on their Bushmasters?
Thanks

Cool, now neither Nick Andrews or I will have to scratch the thing. One is going on my slat Buffalo.

Yup we're in the same boat. I'll commence once I complete my other builds. I got to Slat & CROWS & super detail my US Buffalo too.

Apparently the one used on the Dutch Bushmasters was the ROI Raven R-400, which had been in US service as the XM101 CROWS. I do feel like I've seen pictures of them with the updated Konsberg Protector that was selected as the CROWS II though (those of you looking for pictures might try searching for both CROWS II and XM153, which is the formal designation).
EDIT- Looking at pictures of Dutch Bushmasters, it seems pretty clear its not an XM153 CROWS II. However, I can't definitively say its an XM101 CROWS either.

My 2 arrived from France today - typically brilliant service from Gilles at Blast.
Bill - I think this isnt the CROWS we use on the Bushmasters - Jason and I are going to see if it can be used as a start, it might save scratching a whole new one!

Ah well, there you go. That's not the one that goes on top of my Buffalo either. Back to scratchbuilding.

Robert,
The version you and I want to build for our Buffalo is the Recon Optical RWS correct? Same as those used on the Bushmaster as the pics William and Pete posted.......Yes?
So is Blast-models' offering a newer type or..? Hardly found pics of those..

Yes, the one we need is in Boggie's photo. I should have measured the damned thing when I had the chance.

Thanks for the photos Kuba and Jason.
Jason, the version in your photos - I gotta scratch for my Buffalo.
My question was for photos of the one by Blast-Models. Wondering If that CROWS are already fielded to Iraq or Astan and if there's pics of them there... that would decide for me to buy or not as I only like to build what's "in operation"...
