Hello 2019 & Humvee Update

Happy new year everyone, hope it's a good one for you. I'm looking forwards to what the year has in store for me and how life pans out post police. Anyway onto the humvee and already it's all built bar the figures and sorting out a bit of stowage. It's very nearly OTB apart from a few punched bolts added to the mirror frames and rear tailgate! 

I'm going to use the kit figures and try to source my stowage from tamiya parts only. Shouldn't be too hard that as I have loads in the spares box as well as their modern stowage set. looking at the model I'm wondering why I have never built one before, the kit is a delight to build. Everything is also in sub assemblies so it will be a breeze to paint.
