Elite Forece M1114 up armored Humvee review?

[aferguson]

Looking for opinions of the Elite Force M1114 up-armored Humvee. Is it good scale wise? Looking for an inexpensive Humvee to make into a sling load for my BBI Blackhawk. Of course, i'm not even sure a Blackhawk can lift an up-armored Humvee.

Well it is not too bad but the worst thing in my opinion is that the wheels are hallow backed.
Which you will be able to see once suspended by a black hawk.
The other thing that it has no windows.

I do make disks that pop into the void.

Rudy posted pics and reviewed it when it first came out.

thanks PH. The wheels I might be able to live with but the lack of windows is a deal breaker. Can't be bothered to make my own. And as it turns out, the up armored Humvee is too heavy for the Blackhawk to lift. Nertz.

I'm contemplating scratch building a crude M119 howitzer for my Blackhawk to lift. In the meantime i'll keep looking for a low cost Humvee option.
