Great progress. Looking good

Goodness, what are those hull numbers?

The kit provided hull numbers. Yeah, I know they are not correct, but I am going more for a fun build than a accurate build. [proplr]

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, but it is hard to get good pictures in my workshop. Need to work on the lighting. So far, I’ve attempted to weather with some light rust from the Tamiya weathering set. Came on too heavy so unknown if I will try to remove and do over.

Almost done! Just a small fix to the stand. Plus I might retouch the weathering since I am not happy with it. All in all, an interesting build. Pictures are horrendous, sorry about the quality. Lighting in my shop is awful for pictures. Will take a better set once I label this one done.

Nice job! She looks good - and that was a pretty quick build.

Thank you, pretty quick. Spent more time on the painting then the build itself.
