Hi Guys,

I’m looking for the dimensions of the foldable warning poster holder on the back of Iraq and Afghanistan humvees. If anybody has an idea…

Cheers,

Ben

Salut Ben

Maybe this would help you to guesstimate the dimensions



Using Tamiya's hatch part and a 1/35th scale top view, my own guess would be 36mm x 13mm...

Now I understand what your need. Its the blast deflector pannel
Now you have a correct draving.

You're welcome Ben. But using Tamiya's hatch was maybe not so good an idea after all as it seems that it's slightly undersized when compared to the 1/35th scale drawing

I'm not a producer, but to me it produces a Czech manufacturer. Smallest sheet size is A5, so I must draw additional details (protective frame for the 1114, antenna holder, winch, cover for rear seat belts, etc.). If you'd like, I have made it several times.

Thanks Frenchy,

I'm sure you'd be able to find for me a picture of the inside of the fuel tank !

I'll be posting pics of the results soon.

Cheers,
