Thanks for the feedback guys!

A bit more work done on the roof underside... At first I didn't want to go into much trouble here as most of the undeside just isn't visible. One step at a time and I ended up going all the way with the details plus the wiring. It still needs the gunner's sling.









Cheers,
Mario

Very good work! The end result should be extremely effective

Beautiful details on the roof interior.

Stunning work Mario! The interior detailing and painting looks fantastic.

This is SO COOL

Great details on the roof Bro.

Awesome work Mario!!

I hope I can [one day] get close to the level of skill I'm seeing here - maybe I should stop buying kits and just watch as the Masters of Styrene go about their business.

You could represent a GMV in repair to take advantage of all the details at the end of the assembly.

Thank you guys for your comments. I did some work on the radio... I'm mixing several comm sets from Pro Art (and some styrene as well) to get the setup I'm after. This is how it looks now:



With number of additional goodies painted, and many other still unpainted:



So far so good,
Mario

Looking great. I like your paper maps!

Mario,
the paintwork on your radio rack is crazy good ! Did you somehow mask it to paint the black panels and switch bases ?

Sean

Mario, where did you get the placards you are using inside the model? Your painting technique is beautiful, your finish on the small details is flawless. Thanks for posting such great in-process photos.

Some of the best Comms I've seen on a model, great job. (And I'm an old Commo guy)

Thanks for following this build guys.

Sean, radio rack was airbrushed, except for the switches and buttons which were brush painted. I did try to mask and airbrush those as well, but failed miserably.

Eric, the placards are taken from various spare decal sheets, and some I printed myself.

James, thanks. The comm system is one of the biggest challenges to get right in scale. I still have a long way to go here.

Mario

Fantastic detail.....

I did some more bits for the comms station. After seeing one of the reference photos (I think it is from 18Bravo CDs) I built a file folder as well...



And then put most of those things to work. I'm not sure how the monitor is attached, so I improvised a bit here.









The wiring will be fun.

Here's how it looks in the Humvee. I added some bits beneath the comms station as well.





Mario

great eye for the details Mario!

Thanks Graeme, I appreciate it.

Mario

Hi Mario - beautiful work, great to watch! Looking forward to updates

Cheers

Very nice detailing Bro. Following is great pleasure for me.

Very 'clean' painting, nice detailing. Yes, it's pleasure to watch. Can't wait to see whole interior finished.

Perfection! Painting convey the texture of real materials! Radio set - every touch of the brush as a sniper shot!

Thanks for the comments guys. After a nice summer period and a lot of free time for modeling, real life is again getting in the way of the hobby. Here is some progress on the roof and the roof hatch...





Cheers,
Mario

What are those 4 long thin pieces on the side edge of the roof are they photo etch or tamiya masking tape?

Hope you find time to model over winter, im usually the other way round and have time to model in winter, unless i get drunk in the holidays.. that wouldnt work out so well

Good luck with this build, its awesome to watch it coming to shape and how you build/paint it, so cool.

Bob

I love this Mario, really great work Sir.

Keith...
