That is a good bit of PE on that build. Did all the come with the kit? The figure looks really nice, and fit really well.

Nice work Philippe.

Thanks Shawn :)

All the photoetch on the model was included in the kit. My only additions were the 30cal barrels and the antenna sockets.

Thanks Gary :D

Detail painting mostly done... I had hoped to achieve a little more, but over the weekend the beautiful brain-melting summer weather weather wasn't exactly helpful. Somewhat like this... :roll:

Thankfully the tyres are separate parts, so no tedious hand painting this time.

Feel free to point and laugh at me because I didn't notice that most of the "tyres" are actually part of the rim....anyhow, that's fixed, along with a few other things.

I did some sponge chipping with Tamiya dark green to add a litte wear. Time for some gloss and decals now :mrgreen:
