Started this for the MRAP Campaign. Like every one has said, it has its issues, but with some tender loving care, it's going together ok. I'm adding a lot of missed detail.
Here are the "COMMS" wired up. The AN/VRC-110 had to have the PRC-152's added. Underneath that is the CPU for the FBCB2 and the DAGR.
Interior is just about done and about to close her up and work on the turret.

Details are very elaborate in particular the cabling.
Like especially the radio one with the electrical plugs.
How did you make that ?
Bottles and the cooling box give me thirst!
I do not know which weather it makes in your country but in France, 40 degrees full sun.

OK but my question was not only about the wiring material but also about the connecting points well visible on your first pic.

Soory about that Alex.
I used these connectors on the junction box in front of the VRC. I just cut them to the length I need:
True Details 1/32 & 1/35 Coupling / Connector set
And for the connectors on the actual AN/VRC-110, I used Evergreen plastic rod. I don't know the exact size of the rod because all my Evergreen is in one box.

Interesting set, I didn't know it. Those parts have a great effect on your built.
