nice build
I believe the mirrors you have attached to the gun tub
are meant to go on the side as rear view mirrors

Google O-GPK turret and you will see that the majority of O-GPK turrets have the mirrors installed. It is to afford the gunners rear view by looking out the armored instead of popping their head out of the turret.

The legend update set is worth every penny! 
Looking good,
just from my eyes, I can tell that you might put the bonnet buckles( Left and Right side above the front wheels) upside down. 2nd, make sure the radiator grille sits on the right place , then the bonnet will be right on the top(To me that is the hardest part of the build) 3rd shorten the mirror holder since you used the legend update resin, looks very long to me.
Good work
Jay

I really like this kit. Good fit, detail and easy build. Don't have the extras like Bronco's Humvees, but is cheaper. It's a good start for a more detailed construction.
Watching...
I build one some time ago, but, except for some scratch details he's basically OOB. Can I share the pics here?

I just want to reaffirm that the mirrors on the O-GPK turret are in fact the same mirrors that are used on the HMMWV itself. Designers used the same mirrors to speed up design, reduce costs and simplify operational maintenance by providing commonality of parts.

Jay is correct about the hood latch being on upside down. Here is a photo for you to reference.

Just finish putting my ET Model Blue Force Tracker together, but I don't know what resin radio I should use? The one that came with it or the Pro Art Model?
This came with the kit
or the this one the Pro Art Model
Any feedback is welcomed?

the third one on the right, and you can add the other single Sincgars ASIP from the pro Art set(the set you have)on the top if you want or just leave it.

I got the radios from Pro Art Models about four years ago. Just been hanging on to them for the right build.
