Humvee

Is anyone interested in a Humvee campaign? I just read they are 30 years old and looking for info for a build I will be doing I saw that there are a ton of variations. So anyone up to this?

Me personally I have a Bronco Up Armoured M1114 with Legend TOW conversion I have to build for the recce shelf.

Hmmm 27 views and 3 votes. I'm thinking this isnt going to fly. Maybe I should just start my kit.
 
Ok. So if you and Terry want to play grab some humvees and we'll start. Maybe I can finish something.

You might want to give it more than a day for folks to see it James ;) i don't have any in the stash but I think Squadron has their Meng stuff on sale and I think there was one there...
 
I could join in this as I have a Dragon Humvee in the stash someplace. I do need to find it. Let me know when you guys start and if I can finish a few things and find my Humvee, I'll jump in.
 
Maybe this will encourage more builders. From Wikipedia for informational reasons.:

International versions

Bulgaria – Bulgarian HMMWVs have been fitted with PKS general purpose machine guns. Bulgaria usually replaces Western machine guns on its vehicles to simplify maintenance, since the country is an active producer of Russian weapons.
EQ2050/SQF2040 – Chinese versions of the HMMWV. There are at least two Chinese automobile manufacturers building HMMWV copies. Both HMMWV copies rely heavily on imported U.S.-made parts, including the chassis, gear box, and diesel engine. Both manufacturers claimed that they will be able to gradually increase the percentage of indigenous-made content on the vehicles in the future, since the PLA is unlikely to accept any equipment that relies largely on foreign made parts.
Egypt – AOI equips HMMWVs with anti-armor weaponry, including: TOW, Milan, or HOT missiles.
Georgia – Georgian HMMWVs have been fitted with PK general purpose machine guns.
Greece – Greek HMMWVs, built entirely by ELVO in Greece, are equipped to fire the Russian 9M133 Kornet ATGM. They have storage room for 10 missiles. Another version, the M1115GR, is equipped with the HK GMG 40. Israel's Plasan has developed armored versions of the HMMWV, assembled by ELVO in Greece as the M1114GR, M1115GR and M1118GR.[60] ELVO also produced the Ambulance version, a SOF version, and an engineering version of the HMMWV for the Hellenic Army.
Israel – Plasan has also designed and supplied an HMMWV armored protection kit for the Portuguese Army,[61] and a different version assembled by Automotive Industries in Nazareth for the Israel Defense Forces.
Mexico – The Dirección General de Industria Militar (DGIM), the Mexican Army's prime wholly owned military manufacturer, builds the HMMWV under license in Mexico[62][63] after a small amount of American-built Humvees proved to be reliable within the Mexican army. Mexican HMMWVs are similar to the American built models but are slightly longer. They feature a standard selective shift automatic transmission connected to a Mercedes Benz diesel engine and an anti-spalling layer in the passenger cabin. Many are equipped with bulletproof windows and a layer of armor unique to these Mexican HMMWVs. In 2010, Mexico displayed a wagon variant with a second gun hatch to cover the rear of the vehicle.[62] This version also featured a more powerful V-12 engine and civilian road wheels to increase top speed capabilities in urban areas.
Poland – Polish Land Forces operate 222 HMMWVs (5 unknown variants are operated by special forces). Over 200 are used by the 18th Airborne Battalion which is a part of the 6th Air Assault Brigade. The used variants are designated as follows: Tumak-2 – M1043A2, Tumak-3 – M1025A2, Tumak-4 – M1097A2, Tumak-5 – M1045A2, Tumak-6 – M1097A2 (variant used for transport of special containers), Tumak-7 – M1035A2. All vehicles are modified to meet Polish road regulations and are equipped with Polish communication devices. 140 HMMWVs are equipped with Fonet digital internal communication device. 120 Tumak-2s and Tumak-3s have a rotatable mount which can be fitted with either the UKM-2000P 7.62 mm general purpose machine gun or the NSW-B 12.7 mm heavy machine gun. Tumak-5s are used by anti-tank subunits and are armed with a dismountable Spike missile.[64] Additionally Polish forces of ISAF operate 120 HMMWVs on loan from the U.S. forces.
Switzerland – Early MOWAG Eagle light armored vehicles utilized the HMMWV chassis, although the latest uses a Duro III chassis. The Eagle is an NBC-tight, air conditioned and armor protected vehicle. It is in service and available in several configurations with varying levels of armor protection. The Eagle can be fitted with a wide assortment of armaments.
Turkey – Otokar Cobra – is a wheeled armoured vehicle developed by Turkish firm Otokar which uses some mechanical components, sub-systems and some parts of the HMMWV.
 
And don't forget about the GM Civilian versions with leather seats and hot and cold running water. :rotf
 
I would love to do some Egyptian and Israeli versions of the HUMVEE in 1/72 scale. They would look good in my armies.
