The kit starts with 2 instruction books. First one is 8 pages long and the second is 3 pages. The second list your parts, decal placement and painting. I decided on sand yellow. I like to highlight the details with a wash. Pros: So much detail inside and outside of the cab. No engine but still a lot of detail on the underside. Decals went on ok. Cons: Had problems with the front grill not aligning up with the hood. Also had problems getting the right location for the air breather. The instructions seem short on the exact location on some of the items. So double check all parts before gluing. The Humvee looks great. I enjoyed the build. Thinking about buying the kit again. This kit is for experienced builders only.
