Looks like it is off to a good start. I would get rid of the Hellfire launch rails though. It looks out of place since it is easily identifiable as a Hellfire rack.

Good start for the SPARKS.
But there are no brake lines on M939 rear tandem where you placed them

Oh Thank you very much Pascal, I'll remove it.
Just wonder that, I saw one modeller strached the brake line for M923 before so I followed him :-)

Here the link - do you have an idea? :-)

Excellent work. You might replace the wheels because the scheme of Italeri tires doesn't exist.

this is a very good start, think sanding the tires to remove the center joint
good luck
