Wonderful workmanship there Ekaufman! You did a very nice job on the weathering. I bet those little decals on the side skirts were a "b". They are decals, right?
It's really cool how you "braille - scale" folks operate. Is this the scale you normally build?
On a side note, I would have liked a coin or something else familiar photographed next to the model to help show off it's small size.

Revell of Germany has really raised the braille scale mark. I grew up doing Airfix, Matchbox, Esci and an occasional Fujimi and Hasegawa (Japanese were harder to find). With the exception of the RoG T-80, all of my RoG braille kits are real nice.
Yours looks like a nice build. Lots of detail packed into a 3" model. Straight out-of-box or did you have to do anything to it besides add an antenna?

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
i ussualy build in 1/35 but i like to take a break from time to time and buils a small oob kit, also because they are small i can take them to work and display them on shelf in my office. so i can look at some of my models at work too :-).
Sabot, the only addition beside the antenna is the sight cover which is detailless in the kit

I was just wondering if you added the ball & chain. How'd they make it? I think it looks really good from you photos.Sabot, the only addition beside the antenna is the sight cover which is detailless in the kit
