Tamiya 1/35 M1046 (actually M1036) TOW HMMWV. What I like about this kit is that it can be whatever you want it to be. If you want a simple OOB kit, you will have a full interior HMMWV with many details. If you want to go further, there are many options available too to sup it up and lots of room for improvement. The only downsides I see are no engine, no external gear (for such a modern kit, a lack of external gear is astonishing), and (me nitpicking) no option for a backup machine gun to be mounted. Other than that, it is a solid kit with no fit problems worthy of mentioning.





Since these pictures were taken, I added the top, completed the TOW launcher and the turret ring, added head lights, weathered wheels, and started some basic weathering prior to adding the decals.

I had an accident on the left side mirror mount that skewed the wire frame. It is attached precariously to the point that if it fell off, putting it back on would be very hard and would leave the frame very unstable and prone to breaking.

So, with the permission of Pvt. Parts, when I get a chance to go back home from school, I am going to add a piece of styrene to support it. I am not quite sure if I am going to add a second piece on the right mirror or not for continuity and strengthening as well.

My 1/35 Tamiya "Ardennes Front" King Tiger is done with it's base coat of paint, now awaiting camo and weathering. It will go on "back burner" temporarily until I get my "Tank Terror" entry done, but should complete with no problems.
