my humvees

[byram]

left to right, green repaint, desert repaint, Marine, out of the box paint scheme.

what you guys think?

 

[Fanaticus]

What is the source of the models?

I like both of the repaints, no loss if the desert one were a bit darker.

 

[byram]

the original were 1:64 scale Corgi Fighting Machines

 

[Fanaticus]

Are they?

I only manage to get my hands on open-back desert version, didn't know other version existed:



Which I think is a bit on light side also.

Thanks.

Hum... Those boxes are used in the 1:72 Corgi line, are you sure they are 1:64?

My box is different, more or less like this one:



Now that I see both, mine is from Tactical Strike Corgi series...

 

[byram]

yep they are 1:64 i can confirm it

You have to be careful once you get away from the "Tactical Strike" line, but I'll back up byram that this package is indeed 1/64 scale. I just picked up several of them for $3.88 each at a local Wal-mart. It's hard to tell online sometimes, unless you are already familiar with the vehicle. I don't know why this package is done up in all-black, but I might repaint them in a desert scheme eventually. For right now, I'm removing the .50 cal. mount in order to make my monster truck into a proper gun truck. :wink:

How, what is that?
A USMC Technical?


Related with the Corgi Fighting Machines line you're right, the scale varies on each item in the series, is more a question of the model fitting the box than keeping the scale constant.

That Humvee look good, I'll check them.

Precisely that :wink:. I was going to either use them for "contractors" vehicles or even give them to the MEA as "Sheik's gifts to the followers", but then a news story came around that had Toyota taking over 1st place in sales over GMC for the first time in history. My tongue somehow got stuck in my cheek after hearing that story and I gave them to my USMC as "counter-technicals" to fight the Toyota Hilux's :lol:.
