Thank you guys! I really enjoyed this one and I think the quality of the Tamiya kit had a lot to do with that. I am definitely on board the Tamy bandwagon now! I had mixed results with some of the finishing techniques used, especially the hairspray chipping, but I am happy with the way it all turned out.

Wow! Awesome build Jeff. Love the colour variation on the OD. You made this Thunderbolt look like she's been the field a long time. Weathering is excellent.
