Truthfully, if you have the old Ertl/AMT HMMWV, you are better off scrapping it and getting one of the excellent Tamiya M1046 HMMWV TOW kits.  The old Esci kit was lacking in details and off in the dimensions and sit of the front hood and some other areas.  In short, it was a crappy kit.  No point in throwing more money at a turd.

 

The Tamiya one is really nice and looks great when done.

Have a look on E-bay for replacements in resin, they will be more accurate but cost you a bit

Re-posting this after putting it in completely wrong forum! (thank you Jim Captain)

First post, VERY long time modeler.

I have a 1/35 Hummer Tow Missile Carrier kit that I've been trying to finish for YEARS. In a recent move, I seem to have lost all four tires/wheels (they were all completed, weathered, etc).  I could understand "losing" one, but all 4?  I obviously put them somewhere safe.. and they weren't.  I tried to track down an Ertl/AMT site to try to buy the parts, can't find a site.

Looking for suggestions on how to be able to finish this without have to have it up on blocks! Is there a site to buy parts such as this - a set of four tires/wheels that won't cost me more than a new kit?

Thank you.
