The Humvee from the movie "three kings"
Posted by modeler#1 on Friday, August 3, 2012 9:15 PM

I recently found a old Tamyia Humvee for sale at my local hobby shop and would like to convert it to the version in the movie "three kings. since most all of the interior will be visible I would like a nice photo etched set for the interior however all the PE sets for the Humvee I have found don't seem to include the interior. if anybody knows of any good sets for the Humvee interior please let me know.

Legend do a set LF1193 which is mostly resin. I have other sets which I'm going to use which include Eduard 35 629 and the LionRoar LW35072. Both the sets will make nice additions to the Legend set. I was lucky and got both of them from a purchase of the Tamiya kit from Ebay, just sat in the box which was a nice surprise

They used a pair of different ones, a 2-door and a 4-door, but both are standard M998s. Since the film is a 1991 event, you've got to make sure you use earlier HMMWV shots (no shoulder seat belts, original style mirrors) rather than later HMMWV interiors with better seats, shoulder seat belts and the truck style mirrors. Although this shot of the stills of both HMMWVs show the 4-door to be a later version with the different mirrors.

I've got some interior photos of various HMMWVs here.

Some decent undercarriage shots from this fender bender.

Here's a later 2000s HMMWV with an aftermarket hardtop

More photos of the interior, but focused on the various radio racks

And some walk around shots of a heavy HMMWV (load increased from 1 1/4 ton to 2 1/2 ton)

Verlinden's set 607 is a passable older interior. Don't know if it's still in production or not; I got one on ebay.
