About the Model

A Ready-Made HO / 1:87 scale Artitec US Humvee Camo Shelter TK-HQ Unit with a realistic woodland camouflage finish. This model represents a U.S. Army HMMWV fitted with a rear shelter body for command, communications, or headquarters support duties, making it an excellent addition to modern military layouts, convoy scenes, field command displays, and late Cold War or post-Cold War dioramas.

The model features a detailed Humvee cab with a large rear-mounted shelter module, clear cab glazing, front brush guard, side mirrors, antenna, rear lights, and fine tactical markings. The green, brown, and black woodland camouflage pattern is enhanced by subtle weathering and dust effects, while the shelter body adds a distinctive headquarters or support-vehicle appearance.

This is not a toy and not to be used by children younger than 16 years of age.

The Humvee, or High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), was developed by AM General to provide the U.S. military with a highly mobile and adaptable light tactical vehicle. Entering service in the 1980s, it replaced several older vehicle types and became one of the most recognizable wheeled vehicles in U.S. Army service. Its off-road mobility, modular design, and ability to accept different mission bodies made it useful far beyond basic transport duties.

Shelter-equipped Humvees were used for command, communications, maintenance, and specialized support roles. The enclosed rear shelter provided a protected workspace for radios, electronic equipment, planning functions, or field headquarters tasks, allowing units to operate closer to the front while remaining mobile. In woodland camouflage, vehicles like this were especially common in training exercises and temperate operating environments where headquarters and support vehicles needed to blend into the same field conditions as the combat units they served.

Artitec’s ready-made models are authentically handcrafted, made from high-end resin. Each model is pre-assembled, painted by hand, and often subtly weathered to create a realistically aged look and feel. Models are unique collectables, manufactured in limited production runs.

Artitec models are made using plastic (resin) casting technique, under vacuum conditions. This allows for finer, to-scale details, unachievable by other methods. Small details are added by using etched brass parts.
These ready-made models are pre-assembled by experts. Assembling model kits can be time consuming and require significant effort to achieve high quality results.
Models are hand painted by disciplined artists. Painting and weathering models is not a quick activity, and requires years of refined skill. Perfect for customers looking for realism without the time commitment.
