Hello gents,

I am looking for Operations Desert Storm/Desert Shield/Restore Hope Humvee pix.

Any pic or website you could point out ?

Google search mostly brings only model or toy pics...

Thanks for your help

What specifically are you looking for. I can find lots of pics of ODS HMMWVs. Basically the Tamiya M1025 kit OOB is an ODS HMMWV. One of the keys to look for to ID them as ODS is the "Chocolate Chip" BDUs.

Some examples.

Thank you HeavyArty and Frenchy.
Nice pics !
I am looking for inspiration... directed inspiration.
I have an Academy Hummer M1025 plus an Italeri one.
I'd like to make a little diorama with an early Hummer but I found it hard to get pics from these, either in ODS or in Somalia.

I'm not sure if this will work, but here is my Dad next to his HMMWV in ODS.
