Armour plating is Photo etch included with the kit. There is also another M998 cargo included in the kit. Will put photo of this up when it's done.

You're not wrong that it's small - my eyes will never be the same again!!

It's sitting a bit high at the back because it's only dry fitted up at the moment - i need to paint it i 3 different bits - more photos to follow.

It looks very good Andy, nice and neat. I cant believe how small they are but they still look damn cool. I hope to have a go at one of these. Warriors make a nice looking set of crew figures for the Humvee.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I'm sure that warrior do make a nice set of crew for the Humvee, but figures at 1/72 - my eyes wouldn't take the strain - and i think SWIMBO would get fed up with the language!!!

But i'm very impressed with the quality of the kit, and highly recommend it. Dragon do two other variants of Humvee at this scale - each kit makes 2 models, so i've 5 more to build to do the whole set, watch this space for pictures - not sure all will be done for the campaign thou'
