I call this one done. Great kit, has some minor issues but overall was fun to build. I am not exactly satisfied with my work.
Have to correct the paint around the periscopes and glass which was pealed off while removing masking fluid. Antenna is not fixed.
Comments and critis more than welcome.

Your color variation is very cool, almost shadow like. Three thumbs up for the paint finish.

Thank you for your kind words.
Trust me, achieving these effects is easier than you think. I was using Ammo effects, splashes, mud and pigments, and since they are enamel based they are relatively forgiving and give you time to correct errors or even wipe them off completely before they dry so you can start over. Just look for tutorials here on Armorama and Youtube and you should be fine

Wow! That looks awesome! That's a Meng kit, you say? I might have to go sell a pint of blood!
