I have been looking for 1/48 Humvees for some ATZ action as that is the scale I like for cars. But all I could find was the expensive 1/48 Tamiya kits. Sweet kits, but too pricey for my wallet. Then I stumbled upon these by Maisto on Ebay. I got one for $6 USD and the other for $10 USD, and that included shipping.
Look for Spiderman or Hulk Humvees by Maisto with pull back action.
Be careful as Maisto also makes matchbox sized ones.
They come in at just about perfect 1/48 by my measuring.
3 7/8" long, 1 3/4" wide,1 1/2" tall
But they say 1/40 on the bottom.
1=RAFM USX Modern, 2=GW Guard 3=Hasslefree
4A=Eureka Marine, 4B=Eureka Marine on slotta [which is how I'll mount them]
Take out two small screws and you get…
Carefull though the Hulk Humvee had pink glass? :o
Luckily the windshield was flat and so got replaced with a piece of blister plastic
A quick spray of Testors Modern Sand, a wash & drybush and now my National Guardsmen have a spiffy new ride. Now to paint my National Guardsmen ::)
Enjoy.
