Looks very neat Andre, in fact it´s great. Just one guestion, what colours did you used for dry brushing? Humbrols?

Love the build Andre. Great work with both the etch and insulating material on the exhausts ... very clean and neat. If the painting and weathering on the turret is anything to go by, this should a be a stunning model when finished.

slow and steady wins the race. Still cant wait to see it done.
Only suggestion i have is to clean some of the paint that clogged itself into the engine grills. But you probably already plan to fix that.

Hi Andre!
You are doing great job with that little model. Personally, I like very much the weathering you have done. Not too much but not too little either.

Hi all,
The pin-wash of the hull is almost don, so that we can start with chipping.
