I just finished a Japanese Ground Self Defense Force Light Armored Vehicle. (whew, a mouthful) This will later be part of a diorama with robots, but I thought I'd show this kit off on its own as I feel it makes a nice stand-alone piece as well and shows off details that may be obscured in the dio.

The Mig Jiminez FAQ book is simply incredible and I recommend it HIGHLY for weathering ANY modeling subject. There's more images in the book than text and that's a fantastic thing. I used a lot of the techniques in the book to complete this piece as well as those I already learned for my KV-2.

Anyway, the pics and build details/color choices are linked below:
