Really nice build and paint work. You should re-locate the smoke grenades dischargers as they are ill-angled.
I can't see the vision blocks of the TC cupola. Maybe you could give them a bit of gloss paint.

Thanks Olivier!!!
I was a bit unsure about the position of the dischargers and since
the manual doesn't show exactly how they should be placed I just
guessed the position... I will check some references later and see
if I can fix them...
The vision blocks is a bit tricky since they seem to reflect in orange
and I haven't yet decided on how to obtain that sheen yet.
Thanks for pointing out these things for me!!! Greatly appreciated!!!

mgdsign,
Excellent build! Like your weathering job. Where did you obtain your figure and bedrolls?

Hi mgdsign,
That's a great looking build for any scale, but a fantastic effort in 1/72nd.
I'd go

Thanks Eddy!!!
The figure is from Preiser and the bedroll I got from Tracks-n-Troops.
Not sure what brand it is since I store all those things in assortment
boxes.
Glad you like it

Well it's much thanks to the quality of the kits nowdays... It's almost
as doing 1/35 scale when it comes to the details and the paintjob
is pretty easy too since the mouldings are so good so the paint
just goes where I want it to go
Thank you very much
