For the newest M1151, what is your radio configuration?
I've made something like this:
It's a little bit sci-fi, but the model is totally closed and visibility of inside is almost zero

HI, Kuba
What else you can not do to those Humvees?
Can't wait to see more detail of those babies!

Looking great as always.
I have a Jordanian M1025A2 (without the 63) in the planning stages (waiting to finish a couple other builds). What colors did you use on it? I'm having trouble matching the green up.
I love the smell of Tenax in the morning....It smells like a day off work.
I drive a Jeep, but i still bleed Ford Blue....

Thank you. I think my LHS only carries Humbrol acrylic now but will check for those numbers anyway.

Number 35 - model of a Jordanian modification of M1025A2, called AB19, armed with Chinese unguided rocket missile launcher cal. 107 mm Type 63.
Base model it's
Academy (13405) M998 IED Gun Truck, launcher from
Trumpeter (02320) PLA Type 63 107mm Gun & BJ212 Truck kit. Wheels from
Blast Model (BL35027K) M1025 HUMVEE Wheels Aggressive pattern with new rim, spare one from
Panzer Art (RE35-075) Road Wheels with spare for HUMVEE set. M60 machine gun from
Dragon (3806) Modern Machine Gun Set.
Let me judge myself a little bit this time. I'm very happy wityh painting - choosing paints, painting itself (pixels, surface) and wash. I don't like one part of this model - the connection of the crew compartment rear wall with the roof I don't know why, but after unfortunate accident with falling down (which happened after I had finished this model) I wasn't able to gain a look from time before it
It's almost invisible on the shelf, so I'm glad to see another model coloring my collection. Although it's below my average, I guess...

Hello Kuba,
What a splendid collection you build!
Is there anywhere a HUMVEE driving around at this world you do not know?
Looking forward to see your next model coming.

did you scratch the bonnet?
I'd planned to use a bonnet from Academy's M1151, but it turned out, that it didn't fit to a body from Academy's M998. So I had to take M998's bonnet and to rebuild holes for liftings hooks and hooks themselves (on newest Humvees - M1151, M1152, M1165, M1167 - the're different).

Of course
I've got over 30000 photos of Humvees and all the time I've been founding unknown modifications
