The M1100 series (M1151 Armament Carrier, M1152 Cargo/Troop Carrier, M1165 Command/Control and M1167 TOW Carrier) all served in OIF & OEF. I can't tell you for sure when they went into service in the respective theaters.

You can mount smoke discharges and the Duke system on the M1165.

The initial production of the M1100 series HMMWVs (M1151, M1165, etc...) began in 2005. They were fielded about 6 months later, so sometime around late '05 to early '06. As Brent says, they are/were used in A'stan and Iraq with the equipment you asked about, and many other types of equipment.

The next Legend GMV will be based upon the M1165.

Ciro,
Sorry I can't give you a timeline on the new GMV. There are a lot of new items coming out in the next months and well... it'll be done when it's done.
I can post a few teaser photos of the newest and greatest, as used by SF.

Hi Ciro,

No Boxer Parts from Legend Productions but..... there is a GTK Boxer set in the making from an European manufacturer. Release date??? Probably summer. We will also see a comprehensive book on the GTK Boxer, at least the German versions.
