The one question I have is:
Is the glass windows on the vehicle clear, red or some other color?
Thanks

I am not 100% sure, but I believe that the windows are clear. They look almost a blue/green tint from some angles due to the sea foam colored interior.

On a TOTALLY unrelated note, take look at this cool picture I found of a Colombian M1117 ICV.

Those are the extended versions. I have pics somewhere of vehicles similar to that at a US Military expo at some Army base somewhere...now that I've reminded myself, where are they?

Yup the giveaway is the extra small side window. The extended versions with turrets look as if they would be easy to model using the Trumpeter kit, but in actuality it would require a lot work to add in some length and remodel the roof.

Actually, the giveaway is the Mississippi river going across the rooftop.
