I stopped by Mission Models yesterday (great place, like every internet shop in one place; I dropped a bit of cash there,,,) and saw the latest incarnation of the Humvee. A brief glance inside (Thanks John) showed soft rubber/vinyl tires, two figures, a one-piece chassis and lower body, with side panels already in place!

Has anyone picked up one of these yet, and how are the instructions; how is the build itself?

Tamya released two new Humvees recently
one with grenade launcher and the other one with the TOW
The Humvee with the grenade launcher is great , it has some interior details, the figure is ok , the instructions are great. It s the best Humvee I ever had especially for some parts ( I don t know how to explain in english which parts I mean). The rubber tires are ok but I prefer plastic tires as I made always bad experiences with tamya and Dragon rubber tires that exploded after a certain time.

here some info of the kit
