Hi all
I haven't post here for a while. I have finished this model late last year.
Special Hobby kit with CMK resin bits for the gun bays, Yalu Models 3D printed instrument panel, PE seat belts.
The kit itself is not an easy kit, very small parts and tricky to handle.
I used Gunze acrylic paints for the entire building.
You will notice on the first photo that the main wheel is crooked, I just noticed that when I saw the photograph, it has now been fixed.
Comments and criticism is appreciated.

A fine job. Such a tiny beast and a very tidy paint job.

A very nit-picky point: watch the swastika placement which should be on the vertical and horizontal axes.
