WIP thread on Polish Humvee forum.

























How did you fit the IBIS bumper to Tamiya base kit?
EDIT: disregard the questions, I just realized you used Bronco hood for the build.
What did you use for the little black light on the front? I noticed all SF Humvees have that light, but not one conversion that I know of has the light in the set.
Can you give us some more details about the doors? I suppose you used plastic sheets to make the extra armor on the outside side of each door. You placed these handmade parts on the kit's parts of doors. My question is how did you manage to reproduce all these little details around the front doors?Τhis excellent door contour?

Thank You very much for Your kind words![]()
To make new doors I used Tamiya's kit's elements. Please take a look here:

I glued to them styrene sheets (0.75 mm and additionally 0.25 mm at front doors), drilled holes, and bolts are made of plastic rods.

The light is simply an IR headlight as used on pretty much all AFVs. It looks the same as a standard, white-light headlight. Any headlight could be used to represent it by painting the lens gloss black (it is actually a very, very dark red, but looks black).
