Don't forget to fold the rear view mirrors



AM General also propose a new improved Humvee chassis (M1100 series chassis) :




and the mounting of a M230LF 30mm chain-driven autocannon :

Do you know if the dimensions of this iteration of the Humvee are the same as the early ones? The front quartersand hood look modified but I could be wrong.
Thank for posting.

Good to see you around Bill

According to the spec sheet, the "Enhanced Tactical Transportability (ETT) kit allows for internal transportation in a CH-47 by reducing the standard HMMWV width by 8 inches. The kit’s new body and hood can be installed on an existing chassis, with modified components."

If you're talking about the Humvee in the last picture, it looks like a standard M1151 to me...

Nice to be around. On closer inspection I see that the newer version has a completely new look, thanks for the size confirmation, it'll be a while before we see one in plastic, but I do like that 30mm auto cannon though.
