M1025 based dumvee Tamiya/Legend 1:35

This will be a symbolic farewell to the Tamiya Humvee model. I guess production has ended, the model is not available anywhere. It’s time to get used to the new ICM products. The choice of version is no accident either. When I started playing with Humvees, I always dreamed of the GMV version of the special forces. @kubisz built one using ProArt conversions and I was drooling with envy and admiration. I later built 3 dumvees. Now I want to have fun without any unpleasant surprises. The base will be Tamiya’s M1025. Plus a Legend conversion and a choice of possible extras, of which I have a lot. I am aiming for something like the one in the photo.

I have them all. Bua ha ha ha.

They still abound here on eBay, but people want ridiculous prices for them.

Oh, I will be looking forward to this one. Very interesting reference photos with a lot of stowage and gear… can’t wait to see your magic on another Dumvee.

BTW, I didn’t know Tamiya Humvee is not available anymore… thank you for the heads up, I hope to find some locally.

With the seeming ease with which folks are designing new parts these days, I’m surprized no one has given the Revell Snap-Tite Humvee a go as a GMV.

I’m surprised there isn’t any conversation for the Meng 1/24 H1. Just imagine how cool it will look in 1/24 scale.

There are several countries where Hummers are used in the military. Unfortunately, in 1:35 no manufacturer has done it, because it is a civilian vehicle after all, so the standard scale is 1:24

The beginning, like the beginning. The shape of the dumvee can already be seen

After the holiday, I continue with the construction. I have taken the riser after the rear part of the roof from the M1114 Bronco. The kit one was too thick . I also bought an M2 with better detail than the kit and operators.
