Someone gave me the Blast model Humvee sets seen below. Does anyone have any pictures of a real Humvee in a similar configuration for reference? Just wondering what to leave on/off and looking for painting/weathering ideas. Thanks!

Thanks Frenchy. Do you know if they served in Iraq or Afghanistan like that?

EDIT: Nevermind- looks like your second pic answered my question. Thanks!

IIRC, the picture I've posted has been taken in Fallujah. Don't know about the one in Kuba's post

Is that a smoke grenade launcher on the back?

I guess so. Should be a M315/LVOSS (Light Vehicles Obscuration Smoke System).

This photo posted by me has '1stBat124ID' in file's name. So it's a clue to find out where it was taken.

I've only seen the deep water exhaust on USMC vehicles. I've got a couple of pictures but not with the soft door or the added armor at the bottom.

Jason - Too many photos to post here so I've sent them to you via wetransfer.com - do don't delete the email!
I know you've gotten my walkarounds before but I don't know if you ever got the SOF HWMMV one. These are not included in that set as they are not SOF - you'll see the unit on one of the bumpers. At any rate, I hope a few may be useful, at the very least closeups of those same smoke dischargers, and possibly a better view of the empty rear fuel can rack and how it mounts.

Thanks buddy! Glad to see you back! I'll look to see if I have the SOF Humvee pics. I thought I did but I am not sure

Thanks Joey. I had no idea what it was called, making Googling it even harder.

The portion of armor along the lower part of the body is part of the HMMWV ASK (Armor Survivability Kit).

ASK with different doors.

Was the ProArt set the only option for ASK doors or is this Eduard set also ASK? https://www.eduard.com/store/Eduard/M-1026-additional-armour-plate-Iraq-1-35.html?cur=2&listtype=search&searchparam=armour

The Eduard set is ASK doors also but require more scratchbuilding.
