Does anyone have any pics of the CROWS system on an M1114?

I have two of the Blast Models CROWS turrets and the kit states it can be mounted on an M1114 or MRAP

I have the Bronco M1114 and would like to mount a CROWS on it.

Thanks

(And enough of the word CROWS )

All the CROWS 2 pics I've seen so far show M1151s, not M1114s...

I'll double check that

Well, just to make my collection of Hunmvee pics useful (sorry if it's not what you're looking for, have no idea which CROWS is which).

The above is the older CROWS I system. I also have only seen CROWS II (as the Blast set is) mounted on M1151s.

Hi Dimitar

The one in your picture is the XM101 Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) developped by Recon Optical Inc. AFAIK, there's still no kit of it. The one Chandler is talking about (released by Blast Model in 1/35th scale) is the CROWS 2 made by Kongsberg :

If the CROWS 2 is mounted on the M1151, I have the Academy kit as well

I can always mount it on the 1151 and build the regular turret for the 1114

So many Humvee kits to build!

Frenchy,
thanks for making things clear.
This one is my favorite pic of HMMWV with CROWS - Shepherd Humvee.



But still - it's M1151.

Has anyone else built both the blast models M153 CROWS and this model from bronco?

I have and it seems the Bronco CROWS (especially the ammo box) is out of scale. Blast models seems similar sized to the M151s on my strikers... Crows II is essentially and up-armored and range finder equipped M151. On top of the M153 never being deployed on the M1114, the Bronco RWS just looks small.

Anyone else?

Hi, jamie

look down the page, i have both on the m1151 for comparision.

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/198182&ord=&page=5

And I have tons REF pictures of xm153 on deferent vehicles, to me, unfortunately, they are both out of scale......

By the way, I have couple m153 on the m1114 pictures from the internet, look like marine m1114 tranning vehicles, 3 of them with .50 and m240.
