1/35 M1025A2 Hummer Armament Carrier
ICM 1/35 M1025A2 Hummer Armament Carrier is a plastic kit of the American armoured weapons carrier from the HMMWV family. It has 210 parts and markings for two US Army units. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
In the late 1970s the US armed forces sought to replace a fragmented and outdated vehicle fleet with a single multi-role platform for both personnel transport and weapons carriage. AM General won the final stage of the competition, and the first production Humvee rolled off the line on 2 January 1985. With a steel frame and a light aluminium body, it saw combat for the first time in Panama in 1989 and gained worldwide fame during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
The M1025A2 is an armoured weapons carrier of the modernised A2 series, with a sloped rear body and a rigid roof-mounted weapon station. Protection comes from a basic armour kit of steel, Kevlar and polycarbonate glass. The vehicle serves as a mobile platform for the M2HB heavy machine gun, the Mk19 grenade launcher or TOW anti-tank missiles on patrols, convoy escort, reconnaissance and military police duties.
The ICM kit contains 210 parts and the finished model is 138 mm long. The decals represent vehicles of the 503rd Military Police Battalion, 16th Military Police Brigade (Airborne), Fort Bragg, July 2006, and the 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, autumn 2007. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
