Check out Cyber-Hobbies walkaround of a combat loaded M1151.

http://www.cybermodeler.com/armor/humvee/m1151_walk.shtml

Outstanding detail shots (I cannot believe how full of equipment this thing is).

Some observations - it comes equipped with a cam-corder "dash cam" , home style electric fan for the driver and the turret gunner is armed with the following:

M2 .50 cal
M240 MG
M4 Carbine
12 ga sawed off shotgun

Just in case that isn't enough fire power, he has a LAW (I believe) strapped to the side.

It has a satcom antenna mounted on the side. I'm actually wondering if this is a SF vehicle, I didn't think that the regular ones had this.

This poor HUMVEE looks like it is just groaning from all the weight.

I'm starting to get the bug to build one of these bad boys.

Regards,

John

PS - sorry for the typo on the title, I can't seem to get in to fix it!

Don't forget the AK in the back seat.

Good eyes.... You don't see US troops running around with AK's very often. Quite the selection of weapons on this bad boy.

Regards,

John

On a side note, it's also fitted with 2 Thales AN/PRC-148 radio sets with vehicle adapters :

More food for thought for the AM guys...
