While reading the threads about Bronco`s new Humvee I understand that there are some issues with the kit. I can´t manage to find any threads about this so I wonder what the issues are.

I did an inbox review, and a build review is in progress as I type You can find the links on the front page. As for the kit, it's a good kit overall. Some lows are inaccurate tire pattern, questionable radio setup and seat size issues. All fixable except for the seats IMHO

Noticed mistakes in CB35080:

- little inaccuracies in tire patterns: pattern "pieces" are too small and have wrong order,

- lack of rear winch,

- lack of BFT keyboard, CPU and antenna,

- wrong radio and BFT "table" (but maybe there was some early-equipped M1114s with old type radio shelf and BFT),

- upper hatch too thick,

- stowage straps on rear hatch molded with this hatch,

- poor engine main part,

- part D22 (inner airco box between rear seats) wasn't mounted in M1114, only in M1151,

- some elements (GPK, seats, inner air louver, upper airco blinds) have wrong dimensions.


But it's still fantastic model, even OOB.
