I started this project a year ago , maybe longer ....but I got bored with and it went back in the box on the shelf it went .
Digging it out of it hole , back into daylight once more . I found the kit markings to be dull other then the checker nose . I ended up doing it in a fiction scheme instead so I raided the spare box and came up with this . Other bits are ready to go . Still have to mask the canopy and wheels and finish getting the rest on the decals on . I hoping to have this done by the end of the year .

I guess this will be my first build of the year .

Tamiya paint was used through out the build including clear coats gloss and semi gloss along with a little flat clear .
Flory washes highlighted the panel lines . Black on top dirt brown for the under side finishing with Tamiya pastels .

Built out of the box expect for the seat which is an Ultracast replacement .

Nicely done with one in the finished column on day 1. Just gotta love those massive big bubble top jugs especially with a checkered nose.
