Title: Modern: Humvee scale questions
Post by: ogryn on February 25, 2011, 01:40:59 AM

Does anybody know how Fenris' Humvee scales up with the Imprint Models Humvees?
I know That Imprint scales well with 21st models.
Let me know
Thanks
(anybody have any of these humvees that want to part with?)

I haven't got the Imprint humvee (although I do have some of their kits, and they are very crisp castings)

The following thread has measurements for the Fenris, TAG, and Force of Arms ones, plus some photos - The Imprint site has the measurements for theirs.

I should add, the Fenris, and TAG ones are a good fit, IMHO - the only difference is the length of the wheelbase, and given the different varieties of humvee (and the fact that the Fenris one I measured was the pickup version) I think they are spot on.

The Imprint ones are nice - i've got their Bradley & T-90 for my Battlefield project, but already have plenty of TAG/Fenris Humvees, and so will stick with them, for that particular model.

The FOA ones, are, again, nice models, but just that bit smaller than the others - good models, in themselves, but I wouldn't mix them with the larger Imprint ones.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, big time.
I Think I am going to stick with the Imprint ones then.
21st Toys Humvee match Imprint exactly (minus the small wheels, which will get replaced)

Akula: I Love the hell out of your Battlefield project, make sure we get lots of photos of the event and progress. Waiting for the rules also.
