I seen some where they made a Iraq version of the M1114 but I'm not sure who, I forgot to right it down. I am ready to build this kit and unfortunately I can't find it again.
Happy Modeling

Not sure what you mean, but the Iraqi army and security forces do operate the M1114, you'll find they are painted desert tan with a brown and grey camo, also a lot of them seem to have the camo net sun shade over the gunners turret.
Heres a pic of one:

Not sure about a build, but I did a review when mig productions released an Iraqi army version of the m1114 (so yes rob there is an Iraqi army version of the m1114. I haven't had the chance to build it, but 90% of the kit was a re-release of their original m1114 albeit in better quality. Not sure if you've built the original, but it's quite good, though requiring significant modification of the tamiya humvee. Though I can't help with the iraqi build, but I've got some exterior photos of IA humvees if you want and I can check my notes on my us army m1114 build. If you can't find the review here, I'll post the link when I get to a computer, I'm doing this from my phone.

Also FYI there are some units of the Iraqi Army that are running around in M1151's. Same kinda paint scheme as the M1114's
