This is an extremely good finish for a hand brush technique,even for veteran armor. Nice weathering as it looks like it just came off the field. The nagging bummer is both wheels of the middle axel are not on the ground like the 4 corner ones are. Is the surface it sits on flat or is there a dip where those wheels should meet?
Good appearance overall. Thanks for sharing!

indeed, for a handbrushed vehicle, it looks really good

i'm working on one, what a pain is that suspension layout!

and why did they make the shafts to short, just that mm longer, aaargh

nice one!

I can't even begin to imagine painting this kit by hand. Very realistic. How was the assembly? Were there any major issues with sink marks, ejector pins, or fit?

I had very problems to assembly. There were many marks on ejector pins, so I had to used many of spackling paste. And I had problems with cement, because everything didn't work. But you can't be suprise, because it's only Skif kit. And It's not difficult to paint only with brush. I decided never used to airbrush.

indeed, youo have to image most of the places some parts of the suspension go!
to be unclear in your instructions is an understatement
detail is sof/poor, and the pieces are thick, I had to sand the rims, they seemed to be too wide, and I managed to put the firewall too low!

so dryfit with this one, if your ever gonna build one!
