Ever go through your aftermarket stuff and find something you didn't know when or why you got it? Yeah, me neither. :headslap:

All the time I read about that happening.

What's funny is I have no idea why I had it. I didn't get the Humvee until February.

Same here. Discovered I had AM dischargers for a couple Viper kits. Do t know why I even bothered to buy them. Also forgot I had AM P-51 Mustang wheels. Gonna use them soon.

Well don't knock it - that's really going to add to the build Mike.

Yeah, detail parts seem to have a magical life all their own. Perfect timing, in this case.
Make more models!

Right! I need to do an inventory of my aftermarket stuff badly.

I've got this one in the stash, but lord knows when it'll get built. Hoping for some sort of dio. In the meantime I'll live vicariously through your build. Nice stowage bits, even if you didn't need them at the time.
