I was wondering if this type of Humvee can be converted or used for some type of scrap building to be used for some other type of humvee.

There is a M1037 / M1042 Humvee I would like to do but to get the conversion it's alot of money so I thought I might try and find some help with drawings or manuals so I can use the M997 Humvee as a basic start. Does anyone know where I can get that stuff or should I just get the conversion and copy that for my other M997's because I have like 7-8 of them and I don't need to make that many ambulances.

I also thought I might detail a communcation humvee with a interior if I could get some nice pictures of the inside as a guide.

Tom,
The M997 can be used to model a M1038 Heavy HMMWV. It has the added heavy bumper in the kit already. If you leave the ambulance box off, you will need to make the rear half door inserts and get a soft top and doors for the cab. It would be a great starting point though.

Verlinden made an S-250 shelter a while ago. I believe it is out of production though. It was a few scale inches too short anyways, the actual one stuck out past the rear of the truck and the tailgate was moved out a couple inches on spacer brackets. Verlinden's fit inside the bed with the tailgate up.

I have seen the ambulance shelter used as a commo vehicle and a command truck. Both times the inside was modifuied by putting seats on one side and radios and a map board on the other so you would be facing the map when sitting in the seat. The command version had a long bench seat from a CUCV. The commo truck had a couple individual seats on one side. The commo gear was bolted onto the upper stretcher shelf.

Hope that helps.
