Hey all,

Here is some first progress on my M1025 for the Capture Aidid campaign





It's the Academy kit, going to built it OOTB.

I got a question though. What decals/markings should I use for a M1025 during the operations in Somalia? I don't think the kit decals are suitable.

Update:



Crew members (driver and gunner) are modificated figures from the Dragon Delta Force kit. Upper and lower part of the Humvee are still not glued, gotta paint interior first. I'll do this soon

How far is the rest of you?

Looks like it is coming along great. One comment though. I would have you gunner not wearing the Boonie Cap. If he is Delta, then he should be wearing the Protech Helmet (Hockey Helmet), or if he is a Ranger, the standard K-pot KEVLAR helmet. Boonie hats are not worn in combat.

Thanks, I'll change that. I don't have the kevlar helmets but I do have the Delta helmet!
