I finally started my Humvee build

It's a Humvee with Marine Armor Kit (MAK) which has been used by Slovak forces during operation Iraqi Freedom





Here are some pictures:




I tried to make fuel tube which is missing in original kit






Now I can´t go on because I haven´t received aftermarket parts yet

Comments are welcomed

Looks great, check the tire pattern on your model compared to the reference. I believe the reference shows the new 'aggressive' style tires.
Good luck and keep up the good work

Victor - have You got more pictures of this Slovak Humvee?

Have You decided, what colours You're going to use to paint this camo?


Replace the wheels. Or maybe they are included in AM sets, that You have mentioned.
