WOW! I totally love it so far, especially the driver's station detail, the open ammo doors and the TC's .50 cal cylinoid cable... One question though... I'm sure you know the roadwheel hubs are clear plastic; Are you going to modify them or paint them to simulate this?

Great job, can't wait to see the finished product! ^5 :-)

Nice job Rob. I have to apply the washes to mine tomorrow, since I wasted so much
time being online all week, I should have had this done Monday. Sometimes I really like to throw my damn PC out the window !
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !

Gunner, I wasn't sure just yet. I am considering painiting with gloss to insinuate a clear cover, then applying a little dust over them to obscure them a little.

Steve, I made the stand to fit it and I don't intend to waste the effort. :-) It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The structural stuff was just Evergreen stock, so I thought it wouldn't be too hard, but getting the angles right sucked!

Ralph, Steve,and Dave,thanks for the support.

I changed the content a little and added some newer, much better pics of the Hellcat and a few older models I have done, if anyone wants to check those out.
