When I going to compare the size of this FMTV with my old zil-157 truck,now I see the size of this FMTV is really big

Looks like it came out great. The paint and weathering are really nice. One small issue though. All the rear taillights, marker lights, and reflectors should be red, not amber.

Great looking model. Only one thing markings on back need to be reversed as you have them on wrong side.
