Lots of fine details and painting/weathering. The wheel set looks good. I'm getting a set for my HMMWV project as well.
Do you have any pictures of this model before painting? I'd like to see kit vs scratch/AM parts

That's a great looking model. (Wow, 21 Humvees?) Thanks for listing the AM items. I've been trying to find modern US fuel cans.

Looks great Kuba! Thanks for posting photos. All the accessories and after-market stuff look outstanding.
One issue, which I am surprised that no one has mentioned yet- two M60E3 machine guns mounted. To my knowledge, almost all of them have phased out of the US Army (I am not sure if Special Forces units still have them though). I read that most infantry units hated M60E3 for its unreliability. All the photos I've seen of Dumvees, either M240 or M249 was mounted.
Happy modeling!

James - I've got such photos:
Although this is M1113 ECV based (not M1025 HMMWV based) Dumvee, I decided to use M60E3 in my model. And I didn't have got M240 or M249

awesome job mate! looking fantastic! just needs a base to sit on now!
I have most of the stuff you do as well to build mine, but havent had the time to start! might get cracking now!
I was going to mention the M60E3's, but know how hard it is to get hold of the M240's though I am lucky to have 4 of them now!

Really nice one indeed, Kuba, congrats.
Is it me or have you forgotten the clear "lenses" for the headlights?
Another point, you shouldn't have added the handle for removing the MG barrel. Unless you have pics (like for the M60E3), I think the handle is not fitted till you need it to change the barrel. It is metal and gets nearly as hot as the barrel itself.

Very nice Kuba. Im not really into modern armor, but I do like to see loaded up humvees. All your details make this a very interesting model.

Large areas: 3 very thin layers of paint done with wide, soft brush. Then - normally - gloss, wash, matt, drybrush. I'm very glad, that You like my paintwork.

My mistake, but it's well glued, so it stays.

Great job Kuba!! Another excellent build. Your ability to do such a great job brush painting is excellent.
In regards to the M60E3, I saw them in use in Iraq as late July 2004 when I finally left theater. Also, the carry handles on the M60's are integral to the barrel but are typically folded down. So, Kuba, you are not wrong in having the carry handles displayed up.

The model was painted with Model Master 1706 Sand enamel. Drybrushed with titanium white artist paint from Maimeri.
