We are very pleased to release a full range of uparmoured 15mm scale HMMWVs for the current US Army. These vehicles were designed in response to the extensive use of the HMMWV in combat against the Iraqi insurgencies and against the revived Taliban threat in Afghanistan and have enhanced armour.
We have four models available -- all are 100% pewter and are solid little models. You can really feel the weight, and they are not going to be knocked over or moved by a strong breeze! These are the perfect addition to our extensive (and growing) range of modern US Army figurines.

Fantastic looking vehicles! Good to see more than the typical weapons carrier available.
-
Nice to see a few cargo hawlers.
-
Any plan for a 'detail sprue' or 'detail set' with some of the various antennas and magic boxes along with stowage that get added to these?

(note: That 'flag' looking thing folds downward so it sticks out forward of the vehicle at bumper height with the 'pole' parallel to the road)

(yeah, some folks are never satisfied....)

Not at present but if enough people ask....
What is planned is the TOW launcher version, as well as some drop in mods to make them ambulances and other support vehicles (sorry if that's what you meant in your initial question) as well as some canvas covers, which I think will be made by a physical materials sculptor (these were digitially designed).
Also crew parts to put in the manned turret of course. I wonder, does it make sense to make riders for the M1152? How common is it for guys to be in the rear?
-
Great range of varied Humvees there, ripe for conversion too. 8)
-
Looks great!
Could use the TOW and grenade launcher variants as well.
-
The grenade launcher variant is already available, and as said I'll be making the TOW armed version eventually.
-
Great models and a very useful addition to the khurasan modern range.
