This time I intend to build humvee being involved in special forces of New Zealand.
NZ SAS dumvee:



There is a conversion available on the market to this model of the AC Models company, but very expensive and not very good quality.



M1025 Tamiya will be a base of my model, a rest is a scratch

Side boxes covered balsa wood 0.3 mm and it looks much better.

Very nice build! I have been thinking about this one too. But the price of the AC Models conversion put me off too. Scratchbuilding with the figure set from AC Models looks like a nice compromise. I'll be following this one closely

Looks good.

Interesting to see an old WWII pattern 50 cal box on the gun ring.

I am continuing the assembly of details. I made the back shelf, but I cannot match the colour of camouflage on sacks...

I finished the work and I am satisfied. It'ss a next model, at the sight of which I slobbered 2-3 years ago with the lack of the faith that he will stand on my shelf. I used three/four photographs of the original available in the www and two models.
Aaaaa... most probably also pleases me the third model of this vehicle in the world...

Piotr, another sweet build of an interesting HMMWV variant. There are enough variants of this vehicle to keep you building them for a while. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,

Eric
