Hi all
Could anyone give me the right denomination of this Humvee?

Bonsoir Olivier

My guess is "M1026 Armament Carrier, Armored". It's fitted with the deep water fording extended air intake snorkel and exhaust pipe (usually seen on USMC Humvees).

Looks like a surplus Humvee bought by a German citizen...IIRC, the US Army 130th Engineer Brigade was based in Bamberg, Germany until 2007.

The pictures were taken during a show not in a military unit.

Frenchy, at first I thought it was a M1026 (the Tamiya model). I needed a confirmation. Thank you for the input.
