I have built over 70 models of different humvees. The most complete on the market is the Bronco (3 options). Tamiya - great as a simple HMMWV model. M1151 Academy has a lot of bugs. Personally, I’m backing the Bronco. If you want to build a specific version of the humvee - let me know, I’ll help.

Pictures of the M1114 in action:
This M1114 is on display at the War Museum in Belgrade, Serbia. It was captured in 1999 by Serb Forces during the Balkan Conflict from a US Army scout team. Three soldiers were captured and detained by Serbian forces. The three soldiers were SSG Andrew A. Ramirez of Los Angeles, Ca., SSG Christopher J. Stone from Smith’s Creek, MI and SP4 Steven M. Gonzales of Huntsville, TX; all members of the US Army’s 3rd Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment; 1st Infantry Division, were detained for 22 days before being released.
Iraqi Army M1114s.
ANA M1114 with what I assume is a ZPU 14.5mm machine gun mounted on the turret.

What about this old timer? Academy’s M-998.
Does it hold up well with time?
I got to drive our 1SGT’s around in one during Bright Star '89.
Thanks.

Good one! I think they have a box of them in the bed somewheres.
It’s debatable which had more material.

I stumbled across your post on this forum and I have to say your builds are quite impressive.
I would like to have a scale model reproduction of my HMMWV/ GMV made.
I was wondering if you offer build services or could possibly point me in the right direction for someone that might be interested.
Thanks, Jeff

Wow,thank you,i’m flattered,but thats not something i do.You should generate a seperate thread stating exactly what your looking for and i’m sure one of the talented modelers here would offer their services.

@AZArmory - Jeff, I think that was a question for me. Of course I will help with the model selection, as a base, additions, photos and help with the build. I don’t make models for someone (with the exception of my GROM colleague)

I see companies like Blackdog that offer add-on for out of box kits and others that have 1/35 accessories like guns, fuel and ammo cans. Any recommendations on brands. Here’s a pic of my truck that I would like to reproduce.
Live-Resin and Legend are the best AM companies for SF HMMWV accessories in my opinion. I don’t like Black Dog. Unfortunately, there is no AM set to make a GMV. There are 3D printed parts by our own Ettore “@galactica” has designed that can be used.
PM sent as well.
