Hi everyone

I have decided to make humvee which has been used by Slovak armed forces in operation Iraqi Freedom .

I will use Tamiya´s M1025 Arm.Carrier as a base.

I need help with armored doors on this model because I´ve been unable to find correct type of doors.

If someone know how to build these doors from basic doors please tell me.

Thanks

First, I would like to say welcome to the Armorama family. You won't find a better modeling site on the www.

Here is the image you posted above:




I hope you will take pictures of your project as you progress and post them here.

In regards to the doors, you certainly have a problem there. That is pretty unique door design used between the phasing out of standard M1025 Armament Carriers and the application of Armor Survivability Kits (ASK), HaRD and other field installed armor kits. Right after this time period was the introduction of the M1114.

The door design is not US nor was it used by the US (officially). Unfortunately, none of the aftermarket manufacturers seem to pay any attention to foreign versions of the HMMWV other than Legends and their Israeli offerings.

Scratchbuilding those doors would certainly be a project.

The 'red dot' air conditioner on the back of the HMMWV can be found in the Pro Art Models 35009 1/35 'AIRCO System for US Vehicle'.

I know these are not the same, but wouldn't it be possible to use Eduard set #35785 doors as a starting point ?

Thanks Frenchy

Those doors will be much better than original from Tamyia

But I have another problem

I need more detailed pictures of this door design but unfortunately I haven´t found them

And another thing is interior I found picture of this humvee with opened doors
and seats are similar (maybe they are the same ) as Legend production interior set LF1193 and I don´t know if it have this interior or different and if it have blast shield doors in back

No luck in my files, this is as close I got to the door configuration.


All the others have the trapezoid window in the rear doors and none had their doors open. Frenchy?

Hi Bill

I'm afraid I can't help you more...Al I can say is that Voyager Models has released a set that just includes the hi-back seats :


Frenchy

These are the Marine Armor Kit (MAK) doors.

Thanks for info and photos

I acquired some informations about Marine Armor Kit but unfortunately I haven´t found any specifications on interior and no details of armored doors
but that doesnt matter .

I´m looking forward to this project

I will soon start my build
