Just finished! Built OOTB, the kit is very nice and goes together quickly. It came with a metal gun, PE grill screens and a few other PE bits. It is painted using Tamiya XF-63 German Grey, and the markings put it in use with a SS unit somewhere in Poland.







Thanks for looking!

Thanks DJ, it is the kit provided "rubber band" style track. They took paint well and glued together very nicely using regular Testors liquid model cement.

Nice job. I like to build these newer, nicer Tamiya kits strait from the box to relax. No crazy PE sets, resin or scratch building, strait form the box for a nice weekend relaxing build.

Very nice and clean build Brandon !!

I'm currently building that kit too ...along with the G version from Tamyia too and the F version from Dragon.
3 different versions, with 3 different weapons.

That kit is stunning, easy build, the necessary PE, a cool gun, good tracks, perfect fit.
It should be a modelling rule to build a Tamyia kit now and then, so far I have nothing bad to say about this kit, I might buy another one to do a different version, it's a bliss !!!!!
This kit is as good as a cold beer and a hot girl in smooth summer evening ... mmhh not that good but close enough
