The U.S. Armed Forces, in particular the Army, rely heavily on the HMMWV as its utility transport vehicle. HMMWV's were fully involved in the liberation of Iraq, as well as subsequent stabilization efforts in the war-torn country. Humvees are also widely used by Marines and Army personnel in Afghanistan. However, as of May 2004, most Humvees were unprotected by any form of armor, meaning they were extremely vulnerable to small-arms fire, mines, RPGs and the insurgents’ favorite tactic of planting IEDs. In response to a rising casualty toll, a crash program was launched to up-armor Humvees as rapidly as possible. Of course, for soldiers facing this threat daily this couldn’t come fast enough, so in the interim many vehicles were fitted with makeshift armor in the field.

Dragon Armor's newest item is such a multi-purpose vehicle showing up-armored solutions M1114, which incorporate an enhanced level of intrinsic armor. This vehicle includes a special protection kit for the roof gunner. It possess the same high level of detail both inside and outside. However, this latest one offers collectors the chance to get something more unique and recreate a sight that is so common in Iraq – modified and up-armored Humvees. This fresh and customized vehicle is ideal for a realistic diorama in Iraq or Afghanistan.
