Sonny, it looks excellent; super paintwork, love the petrol cans and other bits all over the roof, and particularly like the way it is posed on the base - small scale kits can be so great for portraying some dynamic and exciting action in a compact space.

You've managed a sublime result in 1/76 - I can only imagine what you'd be able to achieve with a 1/35 version

I can only join in with the praise. Even if it may not be right down to the last rivet, it just looks right.
Great job!

Sonny, absolutely first-rate paintwork, and posing the little monster on a dramatic, grungy looking base in a dynamic pose really brings out the best in this classic old kit. Outstanding work, my friend!

@orange_3D – Sonny,

Time well spent! Realistic and to scale weathering. Impressive work.

I will follow suit with the rest of em Sonny, fantastic overall job. Hard to believe it's 1/76. And if you enjoyed the build then that's all that matters my Friend!
