I' m looking for the SF equivalent of a Humvee for a 28mm game- any suggestions for manufacturers/ models? |

Antenociti's Warthog should fit the bill since it's available again -- it's a very nice model:
link Their "Designed for Infinity" line has some that might also work, but you'll need to arm them yourself since their deal with Corvus Belli reputedly explicitly prohibits weaponry:
link Meanwhile in other manufacturers land, Mantic's Warpath Corporation Mule would no doubt be spiffy too (it's hard plastic and not resin) but it's languishing in post-KS production heck (along with a number of other minis from the project) the last I recall. Here's a preview of how it's supposed to look IRL:

Empress Miniatures has actual Humvees and MRAPs that you can make look more science fictiony with some minor conversions… They actually have a Russian modern truck that I can't remember the name of that isn't particularly well known and can just be used as is. Depending on your tastes, that might fit the bill. |

Gambler, question first is…
You looking for a modern HUMVEE and then scifi it up for say near future? Or….
Are you looking for a futuristic HUMVEE that would be it's replacement way in the future? Grimm |

Lots of great kits mentioned above. if you want to do some modifying of a cheap toy, the Bburago Hummer Hx concept car has a cool sci-fi look. The 1/43 version seems harder to find these days (they used to be at Dollar General for $3 USD each a couple years ago) but there's one here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hummer-HX-Concept-Kit-1-43-Scale-New-in-box-/142197906800?hash=item211ba7dd70:g:gk4AAOSwB09YQIr3
They might also be sold by Maisto, but I'm not sure.
Here's the one that I have:

I got mine to use as a vehicle for a COBRA force I've been planning. |

Thanks everyone, lots of good looking models there Grimmnar, ideally I was looking for a futuristic-style Hummer |
