Does any have some pics of the Humvees America are using in Iraq I watched this show on the military Channel and ever since I've want to build a Humvee and also who makes a good Humvee kit.

Hey Matt,
Check here... Prime Portal

Also do a Google Image search typing in something like "humvees in iraq" or even try Photobucket and Webshots

Joe

Here is more info on HMMWV types.

For a kit, it depends on which type you want to build. Tamiya's is the best on the market. They have both a standard M1025 weapons carrier, and an M1046 TOW HMWWV.

To make the M1114 Up-Armored HMMWV, which is the most common in Iraq right now and probably what you saw, you have to also get a conversion set from Mig Productions.

Academy makes pretty much every other version of HMMWV, but they are a little less detailed than the Tamiya ones.

For other accessories and conversions, check out Blast Models out of France, CMK, Verlinden, Pro Art, and a few others.

Concord has a soft bond book call US ARMY HMMWV'S IN IRAQ No# 7513
I use book for my Hummers.

Does anyone know where I can get info on M1151 Humvees?

Ric,
I sent a bunch of photo's to PrimePortal a few months back when we got our M1151/52's. What other info do you need.

thanks Pete, I was just looking for the big diffrences between these and the 1114's. We are getting 3 or 4 of these in our PLT once we get on the ground over there.
