I bought this for the Medic campaign as well as the Eduard set. I just got the kit and am still waiting for the Eduard set. While I am waiting and studying the kit instructions (almost all of which are in Korean I think), I was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of or correct.

Reviews of this kit are sketchy, with most of the attention focusing to Academy's armed HMMWVs, so any knowledge or previous experience building this kit would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

I built the kit and had no problems. It goes together just fine and looks great when done. Good luck.

JEFF,
The kit is fairly accurate. One of Academy's better
HuMMer's. The Eduard set adds a lot of the details in a finer way. (stretcher racks, fittings, vents, hold downs and fittings,steps,door locks. I have a personal walkaround set of photos I shot of this vehicle in 92'
If you would like a set let me know. SHOOT me a PM I'll post a set to you. Todd
