Pro Arts, from what I know, is the only one that has a rerady made Dumvee conversion. The other way is to scratch build one like Mother did.

Zach (Medic23) has three on ebay right now. He is getting deployed and has to get rid of all his stuff. Go to the Trade and For Sale forum and he has a link to the ebay sight sale. It's under "Lots of Modern stuff for sale."

I have the Pro Art Dumvee conversion and am working on it now. It is a really good kit. The directions are fairly clear and the parts are nice and clean. It has been going together quite nicely for me so far.

If you can get a copy of Concords "U.S. Army HMMWV's in Irag", number 7513. There are 4 pages on the DUMVEE's. The truck MOTHER built is very nice. Check out the HMMVV thread in the Campaigns section.
