Ok i yet to paint it and put decals on, i still have a few more things like accessories and such to apply but for the most part this is done, its a tamiya Sd.kfz222 Armored car hope you like it. I really liked this kit except it was a pain to cut the little mesh out for the top of the turret, but for the most part, a nice kit! This should go into my up and coming italian diorama, cant wait to get it done!
Ok comments would be very appreciated :-)

Nice clean build. It looks very nice.
I can't tell from the photos at all so this is just a point on construction. Don't forget to hollow out the barrel of the mg and main gun. Take a #11 blade and hollow out the end of the barrel(s) to give it a nice finished look.
I agree that mesh is quite a pain. You did a great job it looks very good. Your work is a nice addition to the Big A. Keep up the good work.

Good effort man, looking forward to seeing it painted. What did you use to cut out the mesh?

This is my favorite German Armored car. So far I have built two of these and I have the Sd.kfz223 to build yet. Yours looks great so far. Post pictures once you get it painted. Keep up the good work.

I really like the paint job on that 251 in the background. Is that airbrushed or painted? How about a detail shot of that one.
