Hey guys, I know several of you out there are looking for this kit after seeing that gorgeous one in Fine Scale Modeler a month or so ago. There is one presently available on Ebay and as I got mine I'll share the info. Look under military models call up hummer. It is going for $9.99 right now and time expires in a little over two days (today is Friday around 5:30 central time USA). No bids on it yet. RARE KIT !!!!!!!!!!!! Been oop for 4 years at least

I don't have a clue how to do that. I go into ebay goto toys and hobbies, then sub category models sub category military then type hummer in keyword. If you don't have an ebay account then you can't do it

I'll pass on that one, I could be wrong, but it is an 1989 model, they got the box open, and with the box open they would know for sure if all the parts were there, but what do they say, it appears to be all there.
I know if I was selling a model, and had it open, I would say all the parts were there. Then if I was missing a part I would say that to, but not everybody is that honest, as I found out. Maybe this person is on the up, and up, and really don't know, but I don't see how with the box open, and all the time in the world to check it out.
This would be a good way to have an important part missing, and they get away with it, cause they said it appears, now if it said, all the parts were there, then yes, I would go for it if the bidding didn't go to high.
Another thing, 1989, will Tamiya still have parts for sale for it, if it was missing?
Use your own judgement, I just thought I would say what could happen, who knows it might all be there.

The original Tamiya Bushmaster kit is made by Italeri. The only problem would be if it was missing some of the roof or Bushmaster parts. The rest of the body/suspension/interior is the Italeri kit and is still readily available.
