Continuing with the modern theme, this time I show you an in-box review of the Voyager Models modern HUMVEE family bullet-proof door kit [PEA246]

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

Good review Mario: thanks.

The doors do look nice a crisp.....and a lot of PE just for 4 doors! And I always wondered what the D-ring on the outside was for....makes sense now.

Good review Mario. I think VM are doing over complicated things even though the result is certainly outstanding.
As you state it, it's a little kit in itself.

I find most of the PE manufacturers tend to overcomplicate things... I would prefer the armored window complex in resin as well, instead of such complex PE assembly.

I think it's perhaps due to the thickness of the real parts. I agree it would be more convenient to have it as a single part, but I guess there is some logic with Voyager as they keep making PE sets this way. Just think of the workable ERA packs for the T-72 (i think?) they released a while ago?

Great review Mario...I need to get ahold of this set.

Just a quick note, these doors are unfortunately not appropriate for the M1151/M1152/M1165/M1167. For whatever reason the Frag 5 doors for these vehicles are different from those for the M1114/M1116.

This is a diagram of the Frag 5 forward door for the M1151/M1152/M1165/M1167:

Thanks I probably didn't express myself properly. What I tried to say with that sentence was that Frag 5 kits are available to different HMMWV families not that the kit's offering was appropriate for the M1151, just that there's a Frag 5 kit for those types.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Didn't want there to be any confusion. Great review btw.

No problems and thanks for the pic. Is there a lot of difference between m1114 and m1151 door frag kits if you know?

Visually they are surprisingly different. They are supposed to offer the same level of protection though. To further confuse matters, the doors provided as part of the so-called LTAS "B Kit" for the M1151/M1152/M1165/M1167 are different still from both the Frag 5 doors for those types and the Frag 5 doors for the M1114/M1116.

You can see both sets of doors for the M1151/etc in this thread.

Who's on first????
