My Italeri 1/35 M901 ITV from Desert Storm I. I built it mainly OOB, only drilling out two of the optics inthe turret and adding clear glue. I also added a tarp over the headlight clusters. Markings are from the kit for the "arrows" and from a Italeri M923A1 kit for the 3rd ID/ 5th cav markings. Not sure if they are correct, but I tried!

The figure is a DML figure from the 82nd Airborn set from long ago. The kits from that era of early DML kits still build nice. I added paper straps for the helmet, gas mask, and M60. I also made a 3rd ID shoulder patch but added it to the wrong shoulder (DOH!). Otherwise he is OOB.

Now I just need to put these kits in a diorama!
