Sure... it's OK if you like that sort of thing.
A perfectly built kit that's been finished to an outstanding level...

But seriously - very nice work.
The weathering is great but the work / look on the wheels is fantastic !

Absolutely top-notch work! If I may ask, did you paint the vision ports before or after everything else? From the photo it looks like you painted them first and then perhaps masked them, is that right?

A really nice job, but in reality this looking vehicle in use does not exist.

Top notch work Fabrizio. I'm looking forward to reading about it in the January MMI. The etch work is amazing- it gives it some great detail too. But that paintwork- oh boy is that good! The green is great but the weathering really makes the whole thing pop and looks totally realistic. The dust and dirt accumulated toward the rear along with the dirt on the sides and the rust on the top just combines brilliantly.

I simply can't get over the weathering. Top shelf build!
