Some parts I love, others need a bit of accurizing. Overall, the model came out great! Well painted, assembled, and weathered.

What I love about it:
1) those ASK doors came out awesome! Nice job!
2) the Eduard PE set really makes a differance to the humvee's appearance.
3) You remembered to drill out the barrel on the Mk19

Room for accuracy:
1) the tires. while some Humvees did still have the old tread pattern tires, most have the newer more aggressive wheels like those made by MIG. This would make a big improvement in the overall appearance.
2) Radio: You need Pro Arts Sincgars radio set. that old AN PRC aint been in use in over a decade.

Again, all in all, it came out beautiful. Id only change those two little things, and then Id say you pretty much go it perfect!

Gary

PS - just curious, which sand color did you use on the doors?

To add on what Gary said, the SINCGARS radio can be found in Pro Art's amazing accessory set that includes about 5 complete radios and various additional components. My question and one you should be able to answer, if the truck has already been equipped with a Mk-19, would they really stick an M2 inside? Seems a little redundant, and if not, I would also assume that the .50 cal boxes wouldn't be there. Otherwise, you did a great job, and I always love seeing a new humvee.

The ASK doors look awesome!!!! Other than the few minor things folks have already noted, I don't see anything amiss with your Humvee. The early-style tires were used early in OIF (I've got several reference photos showing them clearly), so I don't think they are out of place at all, even though by then the newer tires were on a majority of Humvees.

Your Hummer is outstanding! Really nice work. My only critique has nothing to do with your model tthough. In the future please do not use all caps in your post. It is generally considered that you are shouting.
