Hello
I would like to show my latest work - Trumpeter's M1078 LMTV converted in Iraq. Generally quality of basic kit is really good, parts are nice to process and painting.
Best Regards

Kris
this is a really nice conversion
But I do believe that the front armor plate in a little bite high ??
You are blocking the driver and passenger view. You need to cut more this plate

Nice update for the kit.
But did you use a reference pic too do this truck ?
As Sebastian t,he driver view is restricted
Also the cool air intake for the engine seems too small.

Hello
I apologize I forgot to upload a photo of existing truck. I found it in a Tankograd book.
As You can see, front metal plate is really very high.

Chris--nice job replicating the vehicle in that picture. It looks quite close! It's a very cool vehicle, almost as if it were straight from a Mad Max movie.
