hello,

i am going to build a m1133 for afghanistan, 2012. please excuse my ignorance, but what figures would i use with it? i am thinking about both crew and medics/wounded. thanks in advance.

For a current, 2012, M1133 MEV in A'stan, the crew would be wearing MultiCam ACUs.



For crewman, there are quite a few in ACUs that can be painted up in MultiCam.

Hobby Fan has a bunch of Stryker Crewman in ACUs.

Master Box has a set of Soldiers in ACUs too.


For the Medics, any Soldier will do as a medic. They don't wear anything to denote them as a medic.

I don't know of any wounded Soldiers wearing ACUs. Trumpeter had announed a set to go with the M1133 MEV, but it hasn't seen the light of day yet.

thanks much.

Nope, nome of the CMK figures are in ACUs. They are all wearing older DCUs.

there are several figures in ACU from Legend Productions. Alpine Miniatures makes also two figures in ACU, and others manufacturers like "nato in miniatures", "Airborne miniatures", Dtoys, Blackdog, Masterclub, one from Blast Models...

Masterbox figures aren't in ACU like on he boxart but in a sort of DCU and the weapons are totally different in comparison with the boxart.

The set you linked to is not the one I am referencing. The Iraq Checkpoint set is in ACU and has very nice weaposn. It is a really nice set.


The Iraq Figure Set #1, US Troops are nothing like the boxtop and the wepons do suck. They are usable for the invasion (March '03) to about '05-'06 since they are weaqring DCUs, not ACUs. The weapons will need to be replaced though.
