Looks very nice.
I see that you have painted the hyposcopes of the kit. The frontal glass doesn't seem perfectly plain.
You could paint a tiny trasparent plastic sheet with a dark color on one side, cut it obtaining rectangles of the right size and position them as decals with a small amount of white glue and a brush. This should give a glossy and plain look and can easily be done on an already finished model.

You're ompletely right. The model had huge sink marks in the periscopes. I tied to level them as much as I coul, but due to de angle it was really tough to get htem right. Great piece of advice an tip. will revisit it as soon as I finish another model Im working on. Thanks!

what did you use for the cammo netting? It is very effective.

It was custom made with the hel of a friend who has a cutting plotter. I drew the pattern in Autocad and then que cut it over a supermarket bag. Then it was primed an painted.
