P-50, 5th Plt, 501st MP Co, 1st AD. Finished this a couple of years ago. In reality it was probably a lot dirtier and with more cargo.

The folding chair is a nice touch haha, is this the Academy kit?
Looks good overall. I like the scene and the accessories you added. The sh!tter chair is a nice touch as well.
A couple things though. It looks like you left the tape over the straps on the rear tailgate. Also, the antenna should be green, not black. Lastly, the MRE box you used is a post-ODS version. The earlier MRE box was flatter and squarer. The older box is on the bottom in the below pic.
They are available in the old Tamiya M151A2 w/M416 Trailer kit (35130) and in the original Tamiya Military Miniatures Modern U.S. Accessory Set (35141), among other places to source them.

Yes, it’s the Academy kit.
I didn’t want to fiddle a lot with the straps, they got painted over when the vehicle was painted in Saudi Arabia. I know the MRE case is wrong, but it’s what I had. The original chair was the work of one of the members of the platoon. Came in handy! The antenna is dark green, looks black in the photos.
The straps look good then. Great job.
