Beautifully done Pawel.
How did you achieve the fuel spill look around the fuel cap?

I don't think the acupuncture needles faithfully recreate German antennas, which are not uniform thickness from end to end, but taper to the tip. However, otherwise the job is outstanding.

Hello gentlemen,
Thank you for your kind words, and that you will like my Puma.
@Marc - The infiltration of fuel is made using liquid Fuel Stains AK Interactive.
@Bill - I am aware of the fact that the antenna made in this way are not ideal. They have a several advantages - are resilient so difficult to damage, easily accessible, just cut to the desired size. I tried once antennas Aber and I'm not convinced, especially when it comes to Sternantenne. I do not think that the appearance of the antenna so offended in 1/35 scale.

Great build. I like the camouflage and light weathering. Has a nice Summer feel to it.
