I'm sorry to keep on bringing this up, but I have just spent the last week looking for some information and pics for the Humvee. The parts that I'm looking at, is the stand for the Radio, and which version of the new one would go in. I've seen so many differant combunations of them in pics, but I would like to know which one normal gose in, and the postions of the speakers and the wiring, and what kind of wire would be best to use, and what would you use for the card that attachest to the handheld part, and how do you make the colies for it, and things like that. Also I'm in need of some pics of the pasanger side, so I can see were the air hoses on the inside go, and whats the best methead to make those look really, and any other useful information. I'm also in need of some pics of the part on the back on the humvee that gose on the trunk what would hold equipment.


Also how tall in 1/35 with the antenas be. Is their any kits out their that show the storage handles as well on the back. also if tanxheaven has some of these pics, could someone send them to me or something like that, for some reason, my internet will not load the page, and I have this feeling that their might be some good pics on their of what I need as well. Again, sorry for the inconvinsion, but I'm in needed of some help with this project that I'm doing.

With the new doors on the humvees, would they still put the CIP over the handles with holes cut out so that you could get to the door, would would they just leaven them off.
Thank for your help Everyone.

Heres some pictures you may find useful. (If these are anyones photos and they have issues with copyright apologies for posting them-I will remove them if you want-Am I ok using those T-factory ones?????) Some of these I took when I saw a Humvee close up at a local model/vehicle show.











For the radio on my Humvee i made the wires out of thin solder wire with very fine electrical wire wrapped around it. The heater can be made from a bit of fine plasti card and the tubes I made from thick solder wire with fine wire wrapped around to make it look like ribbed tubing.

Give this site a try aswell there will be lots of useful info
here

Now just wait for EPI and Heavyarty and any of the other servicemen to give their expert knowledge and you should be away.
(Pete I belive some of those SINCGARS pics are yours-hope you dont mind me using them)

Rob's pics show it pretty well.

The radio mount is the same for all SINCGARS radios. The smaller ASIP radios fit into the normal mount. Pro Art's SINCGARS come with the right pieces, including handsets, speakerboxes, antenna bases, etc. for either ASIP or ICOM radios. The remote control monitor box and other rectangular box are no longer used and shouldn't be put on modern vehicles. The speaker box is hooked up wrong too. It should have a large cable coming out of it and going to the connectors on the back of the mount, not the front like it is. Also, the handset is usually connected to the speaker box where the Pro Art set shows a wire going to the front of the radio from.

Here is a descent diagram from the Pro Art set too.


The antenni should be 2 3/4" in 1/35. For the coiled handset wires, I use thin florist wire wrapped around a pin, then pulled out a little into more open coils.

CIPs are placed over the door handles with a cut out for the handle. They are represented this way in the Tamiya HMMWVs and in their new aceessory set. You have to cut out the recessed square on the back side of the CIP.
