Hi guys,

Sushi, very clean construction on your part. I echo the others comments, this is a must buy kit. Very nice. Good clear pics also. Thanks for sharing.

Here is a link to info about the MK19 grenade launcher. "Used against enemy infantry with devastating effect." I bet that's an understatement...

Guys,

Thanks for all your comments.
I built the kit all OOB because I don't think it needs any PE parts. The molding is great and the fitting is excellent. I agree with Stugiiif that it only takes you a few hours to complete the kit.

I like the humvee.. neatly put together.. looking forward to seeing it in its completed form. So many tanks on here.. its good to see variety as well. On the group build for the Barberosa group build.. I'll be diverting away from the tank as well. Put up pics of the work in progress.. interested in seeing how it develops.
