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.

As advised by Olivier this is Tamiya J.A. Green. Looks good methinks ;)

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:
