Hi
I'm taking the opportunity to test-posting some pictures as well as getting some feedback.
Here it goes:
The model itself is lying around for almost two years now, i just don't get around finishing it.

Nice engine. I like the scratch building you've done.
One thing I would give attention to is the 'post' on the back right. The axle that would hold the wheel. Not sure what a 223 would have there, I would expect more of a plate with bolts coming out of it to accept the wheel.
You could also 'break' the axle to bypass scratch building the plate (if you can't get reference material on it).
I would consider what got this little gem in the condition its in... Fire, bomb, canabalization for others??? If its fire or bomb consider a coating of Tamiya Smoke (Paint) and some black pastels.
I do like what you've done. I haven't seen it done this way. Good job.

Hi Vinnie, Scott, David and Anthony
Thanks for the kind words and the tips. I'll take some time for the the rear axle, it's something i completely overlooked. The engine needs some more colour as well as the armor around it, the fire or explosion would have left some more marks... i'll get to that
Thanks!
