1:18 1995 Exoto AM General Humvee, Military Command Car Battle Camouflage




All I said for the previous model of Humvee, also you can applies to this one.

This is the old model, but the best one of  Humvee
that is currently still available on the free market.

1:18 AM General Humvee, Standox Catalunya Splash by Exoto

I would like to present my collection of diecast models. I would start with the older model of AM General Humvee in Standox Catalunya Splash by Exoto.

Although it is an older model, it does not mean that it is less important in my collection.
The color is excellent inflicted. Engine compartment and chassis is finely done. The biggest criticism would go on making the interior, which could be a bit richer.

The Catalunya Splash Special Effect Finish conjures up a cascade of blue and generates an exciting interplay of colors in changing light conditions. A deep, ocean blue crowned by sparkling amethyst - the magic of the south - supersedes mysterious lavender.  Catalunya Splash captures the spirit of this effervescent country and its passionate people in tones that hint at cool Sangria and hot nights.
Introduced in 1992, the civilian version of the Humvee, hit the market during the sport utility craze. The “Humvee” uses the same technology as the military vehicle and is designed to last many more years than a traditional automobile. The army version was built to last 16 years! Consider these features: normally aspirated or turbo diesel engines by General Motors, electronically-controlled 4-speed automatic transmission, functional bodywork, high ground clearance, the ability to climb steep grades and Good Year runflat tires. Top that off with Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) which allows the driver to pump a tire without getting out of the vehicle.

The Exoto 1:18 scale model of the Humvee vehicle is a highly detailed replica. The model sports a working suspension and steering. The fully detailed engine is complete with radiator and ignition wires. The models with CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) option show a driver’s side onboard compressor. The underside is also very accurately detailed.
 
When you hold one of these models in your hands, you'll feel the weight of quality, see the precision in the details and marvel at the hand applied paint finish which have been pushed to a new industry standard.
