Simply, WOW!! Even though I know this to be an accurrate camo scheme, it still makes the kit look toyish. But, the rest of it is just WOW!! You did a great job on the weathering and painting. I could easily picture it cresting a hill.

Looks really good. And interesting and instructive to see how you built up the base colour of yellow.

Cheers,
