Hummer FlyModel no 98 - M1025 M2 conversion

Hi guys,
As I can see on papermodelling forums modern vehicels are not very popular, yet I'd like to show you one of my recently built models. In 85% it's based on Hummer issued by FlyModel. I seriously modified the cabin and weapon mount, rebuilt a suspension, painted everything.
I hope some of you will enjoy the photos.

Fantastic Job! The additional details plus the painting and weathering techniques that you added really take this model to another level. I especially like what you have done with the tires.

That is a wonderful Hummer! I also like the tires, and the windows really make the whole thing work very well.
You do excellent work, and I hope to see more. }:^)

That is very nice indeed. I'm an airplane guy, but you cannot ignore a very well done model.

I love Humvee! Got several Humvee models, plastics, diecasts, and one of my 1/6 prototype. And I tell ya. I have to to a double take! No way in a million years I would guess it is a paper kit.

Remarkable work. I was scrutunizing the details and noticed the suspension and steering systems, do they work? The headlights have clear lenses as well. With today's micro LED's, they could also be made to work as well. The riveting looks embossed or are they drops of glue very well spaced? There is so much going on in this model. Would have loved to have seen a build thread on it.
