Dear all,

I am new to this forum. But I like to share my works.

Here's a Tamiya Universal Carrier with Verlinden stowage and Hauler Vickers Machine Gun. The crews are also from Tamiya.

Welcome to the Kitmaker Network.
You certainly have done a really nice job on that Universal Carrier.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Don't forget the DMOM contest is also open to 1/48th scale models.

The model takes me approximately 1 week of evenings.] Though it is small, the troublesome part is to paint the interior first and then masking them from you spray paint work on the exterior. I used wet tissue paper.

Very nice. I'm building one now. It probably won't look as good as yours, tho.

Amazing work! I like those small car in big scale!
Actually, this one is bigger than I used to thought compared to the figure
