Hey Folks,
I have a bronco M1114 kit as well as some nice AM goodies for it in my stash feversishly waiting to hit the workbench. My initial plan was to build it into something like this:


the problem however is that I do have a blast models warlock anti ied antennae and a legends rhino device. if possible I'd like to use both of 'em, but can't find any references of real hmmwv's equipped with both these devices.
since both are anti IED equipment i was wondering if the warlock and rhino could be used together or wether they'd exclude each other?

I also wanted to scratch the Door armor shown above and use that in combination with one of those HMMWV-windshield turret field mods but do only have one tiny black and white pic of a vehicle with that configuration from the blast instructions as reference. would any of you have photos of a vehicle with that exact layout (new doors, windshield turret and warlock system)?


Cheers, Max

aaw, well, can't get that pic to show up, here's a llink anyway: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8FSiOphVdZg/SEL8iJ22D4I/AAAAAAAABlU/wbEH3_q0YUg/36380.JPG

Here's another one. The Rhino is not visible in the picture but it should be there as well (you can see its bumper mount) :

thanks guys,
I'll be using those photos, plus the fact voyager came up with that set actually made me want to build these doors in the first place, as they look like an easy scratch

anyway I was referring to the usmc mushroom like warlock antenna. I can recall it was also referred to as duke in some other thread around here.
got any pics of that in combination with the other parts? preferably in three color nato camo with sand colored doors but I'd be happy with anything else at this point

Cheers, Max

I've seen USMC AFVs fitted with the Duke system antenna :



I've seen Army AFVs fitted with the Chameleon system antenna :



...but I've yet to see one fitted with both systems simultaneously...

Hi Max, unfortunately I don't have any pictures of one, but I have seen the Rhino and Duke combo you are asking about. Also keep in mind that after mid 2005 any HMMVW that went outside the wire had to have both.

Wow! That's the first pic I've seen of an M1 with the Duke antenna!
Is there a detail kit available for the antenna on the M2?

AFAIK, Blast Models, Black Dog and Voyager have included a Chameleon system antenna in some of their recently released LAV A2 upgrade sets. Blast and Voyager have also released it separately....

off topic, does anyone know what the bumper number on the first pic stands for? I only ask because I was asigned to 1stCAV DIV on Ft. Hood TX, and wondered if it was any of my fellow soldiers?

4BSTB = 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, the unit that supports the 4th HBCT, 1st Cav headquarters. The BSTB owns the MI Company, Signal Company, Engineer Company, MP Platoon, Maintenance Platoon that are organic to the BCT. They also provide C2 and account for all of the additional units that get attached to the Brigade: PSYOP/MISO sections, CA Sections, additional signal, MI, Logistics etc...

From a former HBCT Executive Officer...

so no pics of the rhino together with the warlock/chameleon/ecm antenna... guess I'll have to save the rhino for another build...

anyway, would anyone have pics of usmc hmmwv's with the interim frag5 and the chameleon system? as I stated above the I have one pic myself but it's really small. would be great if it at least wasn't black n white

thanks for all your constructive input!

Cheers, Max

Thanks John..I couldn't break down the letters! I was assigned to the MP for Division headquarters...their main chop shop. always light up when I see the 1Cav on trucks.
