So this is my latest completion, Tamiya’s 1/48 HMMWV M1025 armament carrier. I built it OOB and added a .010" music wire antenna. Paints are AK Real Colors and weathering is AK pigments. A really great kit for recharging your modeling mojo batteries

Thanks for looking… comments and critiques are welcome

Thank you sir! Ya gotta love a quick project like this that practically falls together on its own.

Nice build, Stik! I like your camo pattern, too. Airbrushed freehand, I take it?

Thanks guys for your kind feedback!

@the_Baron, yup I airbrushed on the pattern freehand. I just do the base pattern colors, then go back and touch up any overspray areas as needed. I rarely use masks for camo except for the occasional hard edge pattern.

@Butz, yes indeed a good quick build like this has a follow on motivational effect

Carlos, the camo job​:star_struck::star_struck::ok_hand:. The faded affect on the paint look extremely realistic. Awesome job

Thank you CB. The fading is primarily the AK paint. They are lighter and appear more faded compared to everybody else’s take on those colors.

Thank you Demo! It was a bit time consuming to do the camo, but well worth the end results :wink:
