As a layman I have non or very little knowledge about these vehicles /platforms, but I really like the details you have added to the models. Looks really good.

The sign that says "Welcome in Iraq" with the HMMWV with Mk19 kind of sounds awkward. Shouldn't it be Welcome TO Iraq?

Nevertheless, these models are excellent. You should probably make some war scenes with these.

Tavarisch, That is the direct translation of it from Arabic. That is how they write it. So I'm told.

Driller I used Nato green from Tamiya. I paint all my models with a rattle can.
