M1151 Enhanced Armament Carrier

I have been building models for about 10 years. Most of my work was civilian cars, trucks, etc.. This was my first military build. I was not sure what to expect from this type of build. since my favorite part of car and tuck building is engine and drive train I was worried this would not compare and I would not be happy. Upon opening the kit. I immediately knew that I was NOT going to have a problem enjoying this build. Fortunately for me there is a suspension and drivetrain build so it was almost a light transition if you will. the thing I liked the most was that there is no complete body included. You have to build it yourself. Leading to TONS of options when building this kit. I honestly took this thing apart and changed the way it look maybe 5 times. I love this kit. and to tell the truth, I actually am thinking about putting it in my cart and buying another!!! the great thing about Humvee's is if you do a little research you can turn this into anything you want, any kind of paint job, and tons of extra parts available online or make your self. This was my gateway kit into building nothing but modern military. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Most parts had good fit, the hinges for the doors were a complete failure, but that was probably my fault. Instructions were good and overall this was a good build.

This kit is just awesome. Only one problem the drivers Legs are huge. Meaning something is off scale, but it doesn't look like the issue is the model. It may be the fire wall in the cab is further away than it should be? Everything else is a dream. Still working on putting this together and so far this model for the exception of one figures lower half being larger than scale this model rates a 6 out of 5 stars. I'm not rushing putting much together as I have brass etched parts coming for this kit. It's too awesome highly recommend.
