I graduated from AIT in the Army last month. My MOS is 54B, Chemical Operations (NBC). Part of my MOS is to use Hummers with smoke generators on the bed. We have turbines that blow smoke (M-56) and an older one that looks like a cylinder with a cow glands on the back end. I have photos taken, with an M-16 used for scale. I was wondering if any one has any idea on how to scrap build a smoke generator, and how to scale it fit a kit that is out there. I mainly build airplanes, and this will be my first time with a vehicle. thanks.
This could be something for the armor forum. Who knows someone there may have done one just like you are wanting to do.
If you can post a picture of the smoke generator, it’ll give a clue as to how one should be scratchbuilt. I’ve never seen one before.

cant help you on the smoke generator , but congratulations on completing your AIT. where did you take it at? i remember completing mine in 82, that felt like my first big step as to becoming a “real soldier”. i took the 05C coarse in fort gordon ga. i think now its called 31M? radio teletype operator, it was a pretty cool mos.got us out of a lot of grunt work in the field. anyway good luck on your search.
I’ll try to post a pic. I have to find a scanner. I went through Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. I found out that they call it “Ft. Lost in the Woods, Missery” for a reason. Nothing like being in MOPP gear in the missouri summer.
hey 7474, had any luck with this yet?the only thing we had when i was in was smoke grenades,so i bet the hummve would be pretty cool to see.[8D][8D]
