They do not contain paints and glues unless otherwise stated.\u003cbr\u003eDescription\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 1970s, the U.S. Armed Forces sought to replace its fragmented and outdated fleet of military vehicles with a unified, multi-role platform capable of both personnel transport and weapons carriage. Three companies competed in the final stage: AM General, Chrysler Defense, and Teledyne Continental. AM General was selected as the winner, and the first production vehicle rolled off the line on January 2, 1985.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Humvee was built on a steel frame with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium body. Its design placed drivetrain components high in the chassis, resulting in a flat underbody that improved off-road capability. It saw its combat debut in Panama in 1989 and gained worldwide recognition during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 for its reliability in harsh conditions. Combat experience later revealed the vulnerability of unarmoured vehicles to small-arms fire in urban environments, leading to the development of armoured variants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M1025A2 is an armoured weapons carrier within the A2 modernization series of the HMMWV family, designed to improve mobility, reliability, and field maintainability. It features a sloped rear body section and a rigid roof-mounted weapon station. Protection is provided by a basic armour kit combining steel, Kevlar, and polycarbonate glass. The vehicle serves as a mobile platform for the M2HB heavy machine gun, Mk19 grenade launcher, and Anti-Tank Missile TOW, and is used for patrol, convoy escort, reconnaissance, and military police duties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003eModel of the HMMWV multipurpose vehicle in the M1025A2 Armament Carrier configuration, armed with an M2HB machine gun \u003cbr\u003eThe model has been reproduced with accurate proportions corresponding to the original vehicle \u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed body and cabin components \u003cbr\u003ePaint schemes and decals for the camouflage and desert variants\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarkings Available\u003cbr\u003eHumvee M1025A2 Armament Carrier, 503rd Military Police Battalion, 16th Military Police Brigade (Airborne), Fort Bragg, July 2006\u003cbr\u003eHumvee M1025A2 Armament Carrier, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Autumn 2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel Information\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1:35\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Parts: 210\u003cbr\u003eLength: 138 mm\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 71 mm\u003cbr\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58474785374589,"sku":"ICM35437","price":32.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/icm3543702.jpg?v=1785599936","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/icm-135-scale-m1025a2-humvee-armament-carrier","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
