Excellent job. I love the weathering. This kit is pretty high on my build list after I finish my M48

Top notch weathering!! Can picture this one motoring down one of those dusty red clay roads in Nam.
Even my pick-up is panzer grey.

Very nice, Greg, love the painting, weathering and the extra details, magazine etc. Duster is such a cool vehicle as well.

Greg: wonderful! I don't know why the Duster is my favorite SPAAG - it is not the best looking (reminds me of a llama), most used, etc. - yet it is my favorite. Your model looks great and the way I imagine I want to build my own. All the dirt and scum blend well with the paint; fine details. What a great model!
