Looks very nice...almost like it's straight off the factory floor. Can't wait to see the weathered version.

Nice clean paint and build. You made a good job of hiding the joints on the turret front ... its still a little visible on the left side picture 2, but nothing serious.
Decals, tracks and a nice weathering will add so much to this .. keep Žem coming!

Looking very nice Frank. The only thing I'd point out is that you may want to take a look at your barrel befroe you finish painting. In the second pic your muzzle brake looks misaligned, and in the 4th pic there's a bit of seam still evident. Knock these out before washing & weathering & you've got a winner on your hands!

ive noticed that muzzle and fixed it up a bit, but it was too later, it was already painted so i put a little glue insid the muzzle and held it htere with masking tape, its still drying right now but looks like it will correct it pretty well, i had the first crew member painted yester but messed up my wash to i tiped it in my future bottle and it sliped of my tweezers and fell into the bottle, and at 2 am, my parents would wake up if i go upstairs to get what i need to take it out, so i waitied till this morningand all the paint came off! hopefully the plastic is still intact, so we got ourselves a nice paint remover lol, so il be re-painting it and il have it done in a bout 2-3 days along with the second crew memeber, in total, this dio should have 9 figures with it
now, for the weathering i dont know what to do exactly, so can anyone help me out, the setting will take place on a sumemr road somewere in europe
