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.

I got some pictures of those humvees , if you want I can send them on your e-mail
And I´m already thinking about colours
I probably use REVELL colours 16 , 17 , 88
What do you think ?

Hey Victor....
Good luck with this...
Slovakian camo is very interesting for me...Do you have any document about this camo scheme?
