Looks pretty nice. It is not an Op Granby Warrior though. Op Granby was the name for the First Gulf War in '90-'91, a.k.a Desert Storm. The Combat Identifier Panels (CIPs - square zig-zag, white panels) were developed after OP Granby due to friendly fire incidents. They show up as an identifiable square in thermals to ID a friendly vehicle. Your version is more appropriate for Op Telic, operations in Iraq from '03 to '09.

Not on the initial invasion and through mid-'03 or so. The bar armor was added later as a counter to RPGs.

Initial invasion '03.



I built the above vehicle for a friend who was the Infantry Company commander and TC of it. You can see my build here.
