First, I want to say Woo!
secind, I want to say Woo Woo!
I couldn't believe it is a small scale model. Judging form every detail, I still think it is the tamiya dragon recovery vehicle.
It is a great work

Again, a very nicely detailed Braille scale build. I'm working on one myself and have to wonder what details you've scratchbuilt and what aftermarket you may have used. Any in-progress build shots or build descriptions? The armored "windows" and exhaust guard all appear to be photoetch (nice hinge details!), while the drive changes might be resin?

Very inspiring! On par with most of the 1/35 Tamiya kit builds I've seen.

WOW That is very nice. You have added a lot detail. Is it all scratch made? Or did you use some aftermarket parts. Great job.

Thanks again.
Most of the detail things were came from the EDUARD's Photo etched set #22130, good details but not enough. So I made the others by myself, not very good but at least better than nothing there.

Seriously, your "not very good" is more than good enough in my book! I just might have to break down and get the Eduard PE set.

You are one craaaazy braille scaler! Don't get me wrong, this is meant to be a compliment. What was your motivation to detail it that well? Well, no need to answer my silly question. To each his own reasons.

Hats of to you, matey! The weathering on the tyres is well represented and the rain marks are just right.

woo...you just overprized my work, thanks a lot.
It cost me so much time, about 1 month, left the trailer still.
I want to make a PANTHER for it , and then the base.
Just hope i can make things better.
