Is this the Tamiya or Fine Molds kit? Great weathering, not too much, just right!

This looks like the new-Dragon-kit? Correct?
Great work!

Very nice work Subuoi! The Tamiya kit is a pretty nice kit even by today's advanced standards. Not much is needed to improve it, biggest things being the tracks and the muffler screens.

Did you paint the rear lights, or did you replace them with jewels?

Dear Jeremy, the rear lights was painted with clear color.

The clear paints worked out well on the lights. The extra wash on the rivets looks perfect.
