My 22nd Humvee model. It depicts a M1038 HMMWV Cargo/Troop Carrier with add-on-armor, used by US Marines in 2003, OIF. As a base I took Academy's M998 IED Gun Truck. AM sets: - Blast Models wheels, - MIG Productions seats, - Pro Art Models SINCGARS radio, Also I added some parts from Tamiya and Eduard. Accesories came from Legend Productions, Armorscale and Tamiya.
An inspiration:
Enjoy (I hope...):

It came out nicely. I like the weathering and mud. The top looks good too. The front reflectors and turn signals look red though. They should be amber. Other than that, great job on it.

Great looking model. I am working on my first Tamiya humvee myself. Could you please tell me how you did the MRE boxes and what kind of glue you used? I also hve the Tamiya stowage set and would like to use these on my build.
MRE boxes comes from Tamiya stowage set (35266) - I think You have the same set. I used an ordinary glue for paper to make them, and then a little drop of CA glue to attatch them to the tailgate.
