I got that hummer yesterday but it makes me wonder if I can handle it because it looks so complex. You did a great job. Did you get any PE parts to add to it. I seen a PE set for it but didn't know what it would inhance. I wish my paint job came out as great as yours. How many Hummers have you built I am gonna try to do my first one soon. Are you gonna put it into a dio. They are coming out with a lot of extra dio stuff for Iraq now. I bet that you could win a prize in a contest if you went to one with that Hummer.

Happy :-) Modeling

Which one do you like better?, Italeri's Hummer Avenger or Tamiya's new Hummer? :

Great job on the Hummers.
I want to build a special forces vehicle, have the Academy TOW carrier. Need some information and or photos, of the rear storage area, These vehicles had the sloped rear door section removed and had side rails and storage baskets fitted but still had the 4 doors in place. They also had turplins covers for the front windshield and side doors and additional weapons fixed in the rear storage area. These Hummers where kitted out to provide cover and have everything the SF teams needed. Have got some photos from Military Photos.Net but no good ones for the rear of the vehicle.
Anyone who out there got information on these vehicles.

Thanks to anyone who can help

Here is a model someone did of what you are looking for. I can't find any actual photos of the vehicle, but saw them in Iraq and this guys is pretty close to what I saw.
