Hello.

The Bronco M1114 Frag5 is my currently project. I found the original vehicle on this forum.

Yesterday i scratched the Frontbumper, but two pieces are failing.

Can some help me, what are the green parts in this picture?

thanks for any help

i beleive that is a device designed to explode magnetically activated improvised explosive devices (IEDs) ahead of the vehicle instead of beside or under it. the lead vehicle has it and it is lowered in front when driving in a threat area. I could be wrong, but that is my educated guess. I know HMMWVs use those now tho i can't say what they look like exactly, but my bet is they look just like that. I also know the enemy has started compensating by using short delays before exploding.

nice looking front bumper BTW

oh, nevemind - i see what you are pointing at now - duh! sorry for pointing out what is probably obvious to you and you weren't asking about.

If I'm not mistaken, those are bumper adapters for tow bars.

Many thanks for this help, so that i know what are these parts, i can build them.

I may be able to take a picture of some tomorrow.

The four doors are finished, now i can build the light bar across the frontgrill.

How can i build the LED Headlights?

nice build you have going there ,as to your question i had heard someone else ask the same question about LEDS and i think someone suggested some type of bead,sequin behind the headlight lens,im going to have a go myself so hope you come up with an idea for us all

Did some searching cheap rhinestones is what he used

I've seen a lot of HUMVEE add-ons, but I've never seen anything like them. Just from the tone of green they are, and where they're located, I would have to agree they're tow bar adapters of some sort.

What do you plan on using for the roof mounted lights? Those style lights have been used on all sorts of HUMVEEs, but I haven't seen them in scale yet.

Good question, i must scratchbuild them. I have an idea how i must scratchbuild.
But i have no idea how must i can build the LEDstyle on the Headlights. Maybe with wirepieces? The pieces glue on the inside of the lights, so i woult try it.

Hello.

Here is the work of the last days, i hope you like it

Hi! Excellent work!
Great to see one of my favorite Humvees done.
Just want to ask you have you done any modifications to the suspension of the kit?

thanks for good commentary

@Dimitar: Yes, i have worked the front and rear suspension. Trough the additional Doors the wight of the Vehicle rise enormous. For a realistic Model it is a very important work.

Hello.
Sorry henkp that i didn't aswer of your question. Do you mean the lamps that i have used for the Bumper or the lightbar?

I have complete finished the doors, the doors on drivers site were closed, while the doors on the passenger site were open, but these two doors were build on the model when its finished, but that whas just a long way...

Nice work. I've missed your last update, but it's looking impressive. Any progress?
I'd like to ask you what modifications you've made to the suspension? I'm planing to build a FRAG 5 M1114 and a lowered suspension is a must, but I can't figure what should be done.

Love it, how did you do the M4 bracket on the turret?

Hi Steve, i build this with some sheet and a rest of photoeached parts.

Hi, after a long time out i keep on working on this Humvee.

I finished the MCTAGS, only the bolt's are failing, the bolt i supplement tomorrow. The lights on the windshield was supplement, and i scratched a toolbox for the turret.
I hope you like it.

Fine work so far Sascha....Keep going...

Your work is great.

The turret that you have on vehicle is not a complete MCTAGS turret like what is on the vehicle in the reference picture. Your turret side walls and rear are part of the GPK turret. Your front gunner shield is well done MCTAGS gunner shield.

Im only commenting from an accuracy standpoint and not complaining about your work.

Thanks for the comment.

Yes that's correct. I forgotten the word-> gunner shield, after the MCTAGS.
