It is good seeing Polish modelers are still active with their Humvee builds.

Quite a project, keep us posted on the progress.
Cheers,

Very nice!
One question, where is the GPK (gun protection kit) from? I found the Bronco one to be a tad small, but the reason I ask is because yours looks to be the correct size and the plastic is a different shade of tan.

I like the looks of this build. Very nice after market sets. I'll be looking forward to seeing more images of your progress.

Looking better and better. I am curious to see how the Legend resin parts at the front will fit.

Very nice so far. I'd replace the buttstock on the M249 MG however. Newer style:
Happy modeling!

You are tackling a large project Piotr. You have a lot of work ahead of you and are really doing good work.
As mentioned by James Lee, if you want to be accurate for a US Special Forces vehicle, you would need to replace the M249 buttstock. That type of buttstock has not been used by US forces since the 80's.
However, don't let a buttstock discourage your from continuing. Sometimes it is good to just use what you have in the parts box.
Keep up the great work.

Piotr, while you are at it, you should get the replacement M249 from Live-Resin. They have two to choose from and they are both excellent. They have one with a collapsing stock and one with the stock pictured above. They are beautiful castings. Each package comes with three weapons. The only issue I have found is two out of three had broken charging handles from the packaging.
I would also like to know where you sourced your turret. The plastic is a different color so it must be from a different kit.
Regards,
Eric

Let me answer on Piotr behalf - the O/GPK turret is taken from Academy's M1151.

Guys- tnanks for comments. Unfortunately I can't see the M249 photo. Can you demonstrate a correct version should look? Kubisz already answered- oGPK turret is taken form Academy's.

Almost ready rear shelf. It is necessary to add screws, shekels and trusses and to install to the frame. Additionally I have a metal plate tith the cover of the back winch along with the drum.
The shelf will probably be combined, that is base from factory, but to a spare wheel I will build the frame on

Keep up the great work!

It isn't a factory set available in shops. It's a production of my friend.

Piotr, your MARPAT looks very convincing. I am lazy and will probably opt for decals!

Your friend should consider marketing these

It looks great and I know I'd buy one or two....
