Aloha everyone!

I was looking through the various post on this here forum and came across a site for a manufacture producing a resin conversion for a US Special Forces version of the Hummer. Like an idiot I forgot to bookmark the site. Can anyone tell me what I might have seen? And furthermore does anyone know what all is included in the BLAST resin OIF Hummer Accesories set?

Happy Modeling

Kurt

Aloha from cold Winnipeg! I went looking through my old issues of Tamiya Model Magazine and found the reviews to those very detail sets. Here is what they had to say. Designed specifically for Tamiya's new HUMVEE from Pro Art Models of Belgium, (PAU-35022) this extensive set contains a new SINCGARS radio installation, SAW machine gun, revised rear deck layout, new rook gun rings, seats, bumpers and lots more. Looks sharp. As for the Blast Models, well here we go. Three sets are available for Tamiya's new HUMVEE all in resin. BL35050K provides a late type weapon ring with the modifications made during OIF, plus a .50cal, Mk19 grenade launcher and a SAW. BL35051K consists of a large mass of stowage for the rear cargo hatch, a fuel can rack for the rear panel, light armoured doors, exhaust stack, spare wheel, roll of razor wire and more. BL35052K comprises armoured doors and lower chassis armour plates, all cast very cleanly in resin. I love HUMVEE's too and I think these would look great on anybody's kit. Well I hope that's what you were looking for.

Thank you much Matt! The info you passed on is spot on. Now if I can just stop procrastinating and finish some of these models I've had so many questions on!

Aloha from Sunny Southern California,

Pawel (Vodnik) wrote a bunch of reviews for the various accessory kits that Blast Models makes. I've only used the Weapon accessory set (twice) and love it.
