Hi everyone,

This is my first time ever posting any of my modeling work online (not that I have done a prolific amount of work) and thought it would be nice to get some constructive feedback.

This is the third kit I've painted since I started taking modelling seriously (there has also been a one year gap since I last worked on any models).

Build was easy and fun. In hindsight I should have taken care of those ejector pin marks on the bottom of the Jeep. This was also my first time working with clear parts. I think I learned I need to improve my masking skills.


Paints and weathering by Ammo of Mig. The olive drab from Mig had an issue (bad batch), but MIG took care of the issue and then some! (seriously superb service)

Please forgive my bad quality photos, as I only have an Iphone to work with currently.

Looks very nice. Good job on the weathering and a small amount of gear so it looks lived in, but not overburdened and weighed down with junk. A couple pointers.

First, the brass fire extinguisher on the driver's side should extend behind the dash in a straight, vertical position, not angled out like you have it.


Also, Tamiya's fault and not yours, the tire pressure markings above each wheel (TP25) was a post-WWII feature. If the tire pressure was marked anywhere, it was usually on the right side of the dash or on the inner window frame.

Very nice one!

Maybe a bit of more color to the exhaust, but only if you turn the model .

I like it,

Regards
