Seen more and more on roads around the world in its civilian form, Tamiya now unleashes an all-new tooling of this modern US military standard vehicle, first introduced in 1981. This is the first Humvee kit based on the production model now in use. Of the many variations in the Humvee family, Tamiya's choice was the clam-shell hard-top-type M1025 weapon carrier. On its rotating roof weapon mount, it is equipped with a Mk.19 grenade launcher. The kit also has an M2 .50 cal heavy machine gun with folded tripod. Its characteristic suspensions are detailed with many parts but the assembly is easy. Tires are made of rubber, with accurate treads. Driver and gunner figures are included as well as decals for four different types of markings.
