Nice looking Model Sweatdogz.
I like the whole thing from paint to weathering .
So any hang ups on model? (++) (:-)

Cheers sgtreef
Apart from having no stowage in the kit, and the lack off an engine thei kit is pretty good.
I also think the turret ring needs a bit of work, (a bit plain)

I plan on doing another with some PE later on.

Thanks sgtreef, funny you should mention that; I bought the copy over the weekend. If only I had it brfore I started..... Doh
But thanks for the offer.
I see that he used the Verlinden Pe set, and many parts did not fit. Maybe some new stuff will come out very soon.

I have a full review of the Verlinden set on my web site. Indeed most parts will not fit Tamiya model, as the set was originally designed for Academy Humvee. And there is much better choice for Tamiya Humvee available now: Eduard 35629 M-1025 Humvee PE set (https://www.eduard.cz/./products/card.php?id_product=2984&name=&catalogue_nb=&type=&pgroup=&scale=&product_month=&product_year=&page_start=).

I want to build a Special Forces Humvee after downloaded some pictures showing vehicles that have all four doors, the rear of the vehicles used as a storage area, some have rolled up windscreen covers, headlight covers, additional fire power fitted on brackets in a rear storage area. Storage baskets on the sides. Need more information and better shots of this rear storage area. Any help out there.
Many thanks
