It looks very realistic except I'm not so sure about the splash on the hood over the front right wheel. Also, inside the wheel arches should be well build up with mud.
Cheers,
Sean
Good luck with the exams!

Looks good. I like the way you have blended dried mud into the wet mud. If you plan to leave of the front doors, you might want to give the inside some dirt as well when it is finished.
Thanks for sharing

Looks very good. I spent plenty of time in one of them during my IFOR days. What scale is your kit. I'm getting ready to start one in 1/72 scale.
More mud under the fenders should be added. This is coming from a "dirt salor", (Seabee) who spent plenty of time washing them.

Nice looking mud, came out well. Like the wet/dry effects, very cool. Your faded green camo looks impressive too, hope you're planning on finishing her off!

Hi Ciro! Youre still scratching from the Humvee bug arent ya?!?! HAHA Nice Hummer. I do kind of agree with Sean about the mud on the hood. However, your mud job is VERY realistic! The only other thing is your front tire on the drivers side appears to be cracking. You need a spare?? Ive got a whole stash of Humvee parts left over from the campaign if your in need of something. Anyway, cantwait to see the finished product.

i like that mud spot over the front tire , looks like someone turned the wheel and gunned it in reverse . i think that there would be more small mud spots on the hood and windshield , i used to get those blobs that look like they are just hovering there in the air until my truck would catch up to them when i would fly down a trail and hit a mud puddle
looking good
