It is Frenchy that has educated me over the years, I owe most of my vehicle recognition and image inventory to him. He taught me to search for information in every crack, save every image that is remotely interesting and keep them organized so when you need them you can find them.
See what I mean about the SINCGARS pics! I love the ghetto blaster.
Always check here first, I had a small pile ready to ship but I guess I re inventory it for the next time. Another guy you might want to check in with is Scott at Elm City Hobbies, great service and he will find stuff if you need it. Canadian too.

Thanks for the kind words Bill, but you're giving me too much credit....I just spend a lot (too much ?) time surfing the Web looking for reference stuff (instead of actually building kits ). But you know that already !

Thanks Frenchy, those photos are aces. I should be able to assemble the whole comm set referencing those photos.

Thanks for another good link Bill. When I had nearly exhausted all of the hobby shops I thought would carry the product I figured I was S.O.L. and found it on e-bay and grabbed it. I know in future now to ask the site members as they are a fantastic resource.

Take care, Jeff.

P.S. Before I go hog wild painting is it appropriate to paint the interior in the sand color or should it be U.S. Dark Green?

Hi guys, I got a new toy for my camera today so I thought I'd post a few comparative photos. It's a circular polarizing filter lens that should help reduce glare.

The difference is subtle but helps make better photos, Thanks Bill. I've started to paint the interior and wheels of the Hummer so completed paint photos will follow soon. Take care, Jeff.

Hi guys, a quick update on paint progress.

The interior painted.

The camo on.

The camo is a rough job and requires overspray touch up and camouflage tie in where missed as I had to paint it in pieces. Take care, Jeff.
