I met up with the new owner of CAM resin details at the 2006 IPMS/USA
National Convention and not only is he reissuing the existing CAM
detail line, he's already releasing new subjects as well.
This jewel was originally engineered by TAC Scale Dynamics for
the Tamiya or Italeri M998 Humvee kits before the molds were acquired
by CAM. This is one part, but it is an impressive casting that
replicates the detail under the hood of the earlier Humvees. How
close this casting is to current production 'heavy' Humvees is
another question.
If you are planning to build one of the older Tamiya or Italier
Humvees and you're just as sore as I was that there was nothing
under the hood but air, this will provide a drop-in solution to
give you something to raise your hood to.
Recommended! Check out this and other CAM detail sets
at John's Models (www.johnsmodels.com).
My sincere thanks to John's
Models for this review sample!
