Who makes a conversion kit for an uparmored 1/35th scale Hummer?
There are two conversion sets available:
Mig does an M1114 UpArmored
Legend does an M1151 UpArmored
Both are for the Tamiya HMMWV kits.
Thanks for the info. I want to make a model of the up armored hummer that my son drove in Iraq. The Legend Productions kit looks like it’s a dead ringer for the ones in his pictures.
The conversion kit is listed by Squadron.com at about $125 plus shipping and you have to get a Hummer kit to convert.
You got it. Resin ain’t cheap. You can find it a bit cheaper on eBay though.
If you are not dead set on 1/35, there are 1/72 kits of the up-armored 1114s already out there. I saw one offering at my LHS that had 2 complete kits in the box, might make for a cool diorama as if they were out on a patrol.
The 1/72 versions are made by Dragon and come either pre-built as Can Do Pocket Army offerings (which is sort of a funny name because if you are buying them already built, you obviously can’t do them yourself [*-)] ). They also offer them as kits, 2 to a box. They are pretty well detailed, but really small, about the size of a match box. I don’t think they have an M1151 though.
I did a review of the 1/72 M998 set for Armorama.
