Hummer Progress pics (update)

That undercarriage looks very nicely detailed. Who'se kit are you building?

Looking nice. Which camo are you going to use?

Looks like an Academy kit to me. If so, I have built two of Academy's Humvees. Easy as pie. Made one of them into a R.A.T.T. rig in honor of my drinking buddies in Korea in 1995 and 1996 (Meet me in the Turtle Ditch at 2100 hrs!) and the other one I made into an IDF Patrol Hummer from two pics of a completed model I found here:

After I built the kit I found the kit from AEF Designs! Sure woulda helped save some time!

Thanks... It is the Acadamy kit... I am going to replicate the vehicle that carried me all over Afganistan... So it will be in Sand color...

Looking good Ex18B. Cant wait to c it finished. Thanx for showing us.

Keep well.

Hey Tom,
Long time no see!! So how are you doing my friend? The under carriage seems to be going well for you.

That's what's worth the effort. The grille looks very nice. Can't wait to see it all painted up.

Scorn: What did you use for that camo netting?

Hey Tom,
Coming along nicely I C...!!!!!!! Isn't PE just great?..LOL. It seems to me that the PE took a liking to you so far!!
BTW, when I picked up my AM set for the Humvee, it never came w/ a map Go figure.
As always, I'm lookin forward to seeing your progress pix.
Flaps up, Mike

Looking real good there! Need to show us some final product pics when it's done too! Good job!

She looks good. Clean build and all.

Keep us posted.

Nicely coming along. I ordered my first Hummer and am excited to be getting it. Long overdue.

Lookin' good, Tom. Nice build. I've got an Italeri Commando Hummer that my oldest son was supposidly going to build, but I wound up with, somehow!! lol This one looks much nicer. Whose radio castings did you use?

Uh, the radios are the Wrong ones......that's the Old Style You want SICGARS available from MR or Blast I believe?

wipw: the radios are from the Verlinden AM set I got for the Hummer..

Good eye mattfixit But the vehicle I am modeling is one I know only too well I rode around the Afgan countryside in it for a long time... We had SIGARS but did not mount them... We kept them in the man pack configuration just in case we had to leave the vehicle in a hurry Which happened more times the one... We used the 'old style" radios to contact the Northern Alliance troops under our supervision/command... When this thing kicked off we gave who we could (read that who we trusted) SIGARS sets and the rest got PRC-77's or GMRS handhelds or both... We mounted the heavier raidos and they would call us, we would call the Boys in Uncle Sams Flying Circus and they would blow stuff up... Nothing like seeing a BUFF on final over a target and knowing that the guy at the coordiantes you just gave the FAC is going to regret the day his Mommy ever met his Daddy....

K......just checking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
