This one is finished. I spent the odd hour over the last week or so making a base that I wanted to have look like a makeshift airfield just after the snowmelt in March/April 1945. There will be a frame installed later but I won't do that until it warms up and I can get at my table saw in the garage.

I'm quite happy with the way it turned out though the finish, using Tamiya Flat Base in Future, was a bit to heavily wieghted toward the flat base as there is a slight dusty look to the model - more suitable to desert machines. I'd like to thank everyone who helped me with determining the colours for this machine and to all of you who provided comments and feedback.
