Hi all
Have just picked up Bronco M1114 HA Tac Vehicle really nice kit with decal options for US,Czech and Iraq versions. But there is not a clue as to where the markings go just a profile of a plain US example with no markings, I want to build a Czech one but does anyone know where I can find photos of Czech M1114 HMMVs as GOOGLE had failed me.
Thanks in advance

Hi

Just take a look here :
http://forum.valka.cz/viewtopic.php/title/M1151/p/283136#283136
Contrary to what the captions say, the pictured Humvees are M1114s, not M1151s..
More pics here : http://www.mzv.cz/prtlogar/cz/foto_a_video/vyjezd_na_patrolu.html

That last link looks like the ones Bronco used as most of the markings match though no sign of the Czech roundals. Also the Bronco kit only has one of the large cyndrical aerials seen on the rear of the HMMVs

More M1114s :















On a side note, don't forget the "W" in "HMMWV", it may makes things easier when using Google...

The weapon in the first picture is an AGS-17 grenade launcher.

The additional light machine gun mounted with the Dshk is a PKM.

Thanks Brent

AFAIK it's necessary to replace M2HB or Mk19 with these guns for Czech version. Iraqi Humvees were also equipped with different weapons, than standard US M1114s. I wish we could get some stuff in Bronco's set...

Tank has released a resin "Plamya" ;



They make some PKM variants as well...
