Great looking model but can I give one tiny bit of advice.. With the radio set up you have there you have the radio, an AN/PRC-77 mounted in an AM-2060 and both of those are mounted in an MT-1029. The 2060 is the speaker looking part to the left and to the right of that is the radio, the PRC-77. Underneath them both and just about flat is the 1029. You have two thicker cables coming out and going strait down, one to the right of the speaker and one just to the right of that one. You should have one short piece of cable going between the two connectors where your two are coming from, we called it the “Dog Bone”. I basically connects the radio with the amplifier/speaker part of the system. I hope that all makes sense

Unfortunately I did conducting without real scheme.
But now it can't be corrected - the roof is already collected
Thanks for the valuable comment, James.

Very impressive model even without correction. You should be proud of your work on the Humvee, well done!

Hi Dmitry, as many have already said, the interior is absolutely stunning, crisp and not over the top. Brilliant work!!! However I have a question, how did you get the effect on the gunners stand to look like that, I could really use that effect on a couple of my WIP models.

Keep up the good work Dmitry!!!

That PE kit is something else. Adds a world of detail to that kit - fantastic job mate.

For this effect I used "dry brush" with Burnt iron color by Hobby color.

ahh I see, I've never used Hobby colour paints, how do you find them. I've been doing allot of my drybrushing with a revell silver with ok results, but what you've done with the hobby colour is exactly the effect I'm after. I'll have to look at treating myself to that paint.

Cheers dmitry, keep up the epic work!!

You can use many different colors on the gunner platform and not be wrong. Here is a few photos to emphasize what I'm saying.

I think it looks great. You have a good balance between micro and macro detail with really makes it feel "in-scale"
The springs look a bit wonky though, might wanna tighten up the cylindrical shape of them

Hope I did not come across as overly harsh
I was looking at the "DSC05118.jpg" pic but I agree looking at the other pictures it looks great
Keep up the good work!

Very nice and clean assembly. I suppose you will paint it in 3 tone NATO camouflage. Any plans on the weathering? KFOR vehicles were usually very dirty.
