Nice job on an old kit. You really show what can be done with a little imagination. Where did the jerry can holders come from? They are a big improvement on the kit ones.

Looks great! I noticed that one of the left side ammo bins seem to be misaligned. Great finish!!!

Nice paint and finish Coco.

Did you use a decal softenening solution? I would highly reccomend them, as well as applying a little gloss to where the decals are to be placed.

One of my favorite kits!

Generally a very good build with a very nice finish. Couple comments.
Ditto on the decal softener. There's a bit of film inthe closeups and the side stars don't seem to have settled over the rivets.
The wash on the ammo cans looks a little heavy in the closeup. (Darn those close-ups! :-) )
Good that you tied the stowage on the winch. You might want to treat the thread with sone dilluted white glue to reduce the unravelling visible in those pesky highlights.
I'm not sure there'd be much stowage on the winch, though, since it forces the louvres to be closed, restricting airflow into the engine compartment.

Killer build coca, weathering looks real good. Goes to show what a little TLC can do to the older kits. will this go into a diorama.

Hi guys, thank you for the comments, next time I will be more careful on the decals.
Tim this is a stand along model, no diorama in mind.
cheers....
