Hummer H1, Meng Model

Here is the Hummer H1 from Meng Model,overall, decent kit, outside of Meng combining different years into the kit, pretty straight forward build, everything minus of a couple things fit good. My only real complaint is that all the marker lights are molded to the body. Couple of fit issues I encountered, one was the getting the drive shaft to fit, I needed to trim it down, and the other issue is the the windshield peice does not fit, or seat properly , so that is causing the front doors not fit great and the roof to sit up in the front. I believe it is the interior peices causing that, as my test mock up for the body, there was no issues.

The best way I can describe this kit is akin to building a semi truck kit. enough of the blah blah blah

Starting with how it looks in stock form

Nice build Jonathan. It looks so much better with the resin kit. That roof just looks huge without the roof rack on it.

Definitely on list to pick up in the New Year.

Outstanding build. I have been contemplating buying this model and judging by the looks of the photos, I just might. Did you buy any details other than what was in the box?

Looks nice, great build.

I have mine on the bench at the moment and after seeing yours, I'm glad I ordered the Resin detail kit... it just looks too plain without the roof rack.

I'm still having trouble choosing a colour though. I really like your choice.

Regards,
Dan

Did not know there is resin detail kit. What brand is it?

The detail kit is also from MENG models.
It consists of the larger front brush guard, Roof rack, light bar with lights and a snorkel. As seen in the second lot of pics in the original post.
