New Review: Humvee M1097A2

[IPMSUpdates]

Reviewer’s Comments:

The M1097A2, Heavy HMMWV with an increased payload capacity, will replace the M1037, M1042, M1097 and M1097A1 heavy shelter variants. It is designed to carry heavy electronic systems, weapons platforms, and can be configured to act as a command post; the M1097A2 may also be configured as a troop carrier.

This is ICM’s first HMMWV, and the second kit available in 1/35 scale (Italeri No, 6484 was introduced in 2018). This versatile and rugged vehicle is in service with the US military, NATO forces and other militaries around the world. The two marking options in this kit include:

1. C-3, Charlie Company, 1-18 Infantry Regiment, 1^st Infantry Division in NATO tri-tone camouflage

2. 784^th EOD Company, 184^th Ordnance Battalion in desert tan
