About time! ;-) I'll be there....I'm afraid I'm not having much progress lately, maybe this will get me building again.
Another great build Kuba!
Nice one Brian. How did you do the mud?

Hi Sean , for the mud i used MIG pigments . I put some in a bowl then dipped an old shortish flat brush in thinned varnish then picked up pigments and stubbed the brush over the areas that i wanted muddy . Working from the underside thinking about how the mud might get thrown up as it was driven over country . Just kept building up the thickness dipping into varnish then pigments . Hope you like it .
dont mean nothing , drive on

Sean, remember - it's not a race
Very nice Helmet Hardtop Humvee, but I think that You should add some little correction to doors painting. With some stowage it'll be great looking version. Best regards

Great collections guys, well done and nice to see.
Here's my 'one and only' Humvee. It's Tamiya's M1025 with Eduard's PE set and a bunch of other little bits. I'm proud of it as it was my first foray into using photoetch. I've been hooked ever since....lol
cheers;

Yes, I know, but I have written about version presented to the US Army. By the way - I don't know anything about history of Angolan M40 version - is it their own conversion?
