Hi, Kuba,

Thanks for the swift answer.
So, if I do understand you well, the spanners (to bring tension on the strap) are part of an upgrade set for a HUMVEE from Eduard and not part from a special set?

Anyone around in the world who knows if there is a spanner/strap/tie down set?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, Kuba, my fault about not immediately understanding you!

Paul, I usually cut off simple clamps from Eduard PE sets. But maybe try to find something like that:
CSM DESIGNS - 35101 - Modern Strap Buckles

PRO ART MODELS - PAU-35038 - Modern clamping tools:

Hi Kuba.
Quite a fleet.
All of them excellent builds.
Must be hard to find types which do completely differ from the normal standard.

Thanks for showing, waiting for more.

It's very easy There is so many version and variants... Uncountable...

Yes, of course. Some planes in my childhood, then some military vehicles of World War II, some modern... Nothing special. Then 10yrs break in my 'career' and after it - this one:

And then first Humvee...

Great work Kuba! I love the doors and the other details.

Can you give some info about the Gustav 84mm in the bed... did you build it from scratch? It looks really good.
