9SFG(A) - Special Operations HMMWV (pic heavy)
9SFG(A) - Special Operations HMMWV (pic heavy)
So I've done a bunch of other HMMWV models, and during research I saw a photo of a "spec ops" type HMMWV and knew I wanted to make it, but I knew it'd be a LOT of work, so I started last weekend and finally finished..
Here is my M1025 "Special Operations" HMMWV.
It is based on the 21st Century Toys M1025 "TOW" HMMWV.
Here is what it started off looking like:
I did the following modifications:
* Everything? Haha
* Replaced TOW launcher/mount with M2 .50 cal mount/storage.
* Removed all the doors, windows and back hatch.
* Added stowage-netting to back doors and back gate-area.
* Added movable M249 SAW mount/gun on back bed.
* Added passenger M60 mount/gun.
* Added SATCOM antenna.
* Added Laptop & 2nd radio to interior.
* Added a BUNCH of interior stowage. (MRE's, Watercans, Packs, Bedding, etc)
* Added fabric camo rolls/sand protection.
* Added push bar to front.
* Added outside stowage (packs, rope, gear, etc).
* Painted camo/weathered/dirtied it up inside and out.
This is what I ended up with!
This was based on this photo:
More pictures below. Thanks for reading, comments + critiques welcomed.. it's how I get better!!

Thanks everyone!
It was a surprising amount of work, but it was a lot of fun. I had to improvise some, since the picture didn't show the complete package

Exceptionnal work!!! Where did you get the M-60 machine gun?
Re: 9SFG(A) - Special Operations HMMWV (pic heavy)
Thank you
The M60 is from the 21st Century Navy SEAL jeep.. or whatever it was called. It came with two mounted on it.

the mods look great
i replaced the TOW with a .50cal on my PTE Humvee some years ago, but the details added to yours are insace. The cargo net on the side looks amazing.
